2010-15
On March 1, 2011, I got a call for a
post of site engineer in Gandhi group of colleges, and the chairman was so
impressed that he wanted me teach in spite of the fact that I had only 6 years
of teaching experience. 3 days later he called me and appointed as project
manager of one college, and on completion move to another as associate
professor. He was also impressed by my trimmed beard, which I had to shave off
for going abroad, due to the photo in the passport. I had one site engineer who never attended to the job and the adm
department was running the show. I was consulted rarely, and I waited for the
later one to teach.
After two months I went on leave to
Alexandria , Egypt giza and the spinks, cruise in river nile at cairo ,and catacombs at
alex.
Onward journey with a stop over at
Mumbai was smooth, including the travel by road from cairo
to Alexandria .
The road known as desert highway is having several flyovers under construction
and both sides are green with very little sand dunes. The stay was a palace in
10th floor in an apartment block near state museum and governors’
house. My daughter saw the incidents during revolution including death, and has
started seeing ghosts, who are benign and never created any problems. The last
one sat on her bed and cried. We never saw one. Anyway this was the reason for
changing the house to a modern apartment on 21st floor over four
seasons’ hotel and malls, overlooking the sea. You can see miles from both
verandahs including submarine lights.
In the earlier house we used to
cross the marine drive through a subway to go to the sea for swim, take
roadside tea and see fishing. The later one you have to cross on the road with
real policemen, who were absent after revolution. We used long walks with a lot
of cats but no dogs.
