Executive Assistant to President
Schaeffler, India |
| From Pune, been here for past one year.
Was struck by the short distances. Lived in
Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad where
he feels the distances are huge. Was surprised
to find that language is not a barrier. And
delighted to find the time to pursue his
passion for teaching kids. |

| When I came here, the first thing that
struck me was the short distances. I've
lived in Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai,
Hyderabad - in all these places, the
distances are huge. You spend a lot of
time in traffic - here, the distances are
short and the routes are not complicated
so it's easy to find your way around. You
realise that you're not spending your
time on other things but on things you
want to do. This work-family balance - It's
hard to get elsewhere - home to office is
not even 15 minutes. If I'm required to
stay in the office till 8, I don't get worried
about which bus to take and whether I'll
get it at all - it's great. |
|
| A friend of mine here runs an MBA
coaching class - I go there and teach - there's no |
|
|
| money but I love teaching - it's
a passion and I get the time to do that
here. I haven't had the chance to explore
Vadodara enough but I've been to a few
places in and around Vadodara -
Pavagadh is amazing. |
|
| When I first came to Gujarat, I thought
that language would be a big barrier but
that never happened. People try to talk in
Hindi even if they can't. My wife is also
happy. She was a little disappointed in
the beginning because she was used to
her life in Pune but she settled down
fairly quickly - she's started using a twowheeler
looking at the girls here - now
she's okay because she can move around
whenever and wherever she wants - and
I'm not worried because it's safe. |
