My Office Trail

Getting accustomed to a new country and new set of culture is no doubt challenging. I am right now is facing the same challenge. Hartford aka Insurance capital of America has a lot to offer. The buildings are a visual delight. The huge office buildings , the overall architecture found over here are very conventional. Every street you turn you come across any of the hugely known insurance names like Travellers, Aetna, Hartford, Metlife, ING. The down town area also boasts of many cultural landmarks like the Wadsworth Antheneum, the old State Capitol Building, The oldest Baptist Church of America, the Bushnell park to name a few.

Now, going back to my daily schedule definitely includes me going to office and what i do before and after it. To my utmost dislike, the last direct bus from downtown Hartford to my ING Office at 1, orange way leaves at 7.10 am in the morning. Needless to say whether I like it or not I have to get up early in the morning and drag myself to bus stop. However one particular thing that has happened to me every day is .. whichever time I go out for office it invariably rains these days. As soon as it rains the weather becomes chilly as winds start to blow. This calls for an extra luggage that's the sweater/jacket. Ironically enough, when I come back from the ordeal it becomes bright and sunny turning the sweater into a complete burden.

The roads that lead to my office offer a very good view. Its lush green and dotted by very beautiful cottages spread here and there. Oh, I forgot to mention that my office is located at Windsor CT a very picturesque place indeed. Many a times I had wished to take snaps of my way to office.. but thinking of the funny scene that I'll create in the bus I restrained myself from doing so. Coming back to my bus journey, the bus starts from downtown Hartford and takes to freeway # I91 to reach the area called day hill and Marshall Phelps in the Windsor area. Thats where my office is. Its located on an undulated terrain and the view around is wonderful. This facility has a strategically placed cafeteria that offers you a green wash of your eyes i.e. every direction you look at has a a good landscape to offer.
