So I do not not know Hyderabad as well as I thought. I had a meeting in Gacibowli at Roda Mistry College. Instead of getting on a bus that goes to HiTex City, I took the 216k where I was told to get off at Kothaguda crossroads. From here I walked to Hitech Crossroads where I took an auto the rest of the way. On the way back I walked back to Cyber Towers to catch the bus. Easier way would have been walk or take the bus to Lingampally and take the bus that would have dropped me by the college. Lingampally is a lot closer than I thought and is definitely walkable if I don't keep track of time.
Yesterday I went to Lakdikapul to check out Voice 4 Girls new office. I took the train for the first time which wasn't bad but it took forever to come since I don't know the schedule. I don't think timing it with the complex bus will be very useful. Paid INR 10 for the ride and was surprised when my ticket wasn't checked on the train. Unfortunately the IDEX fellow was sick so I did't get to see her yesterday but I met their new staff members. One is an American who is from White Plains, NY small world right to meet someone from Westchester County in India. I picked a good day to visit Voice because I was invited to their potluck. I almost kicked myself when I realized I forgot my lunch. Redid my portfolio proposal under the request of Trice and got a good start on my Social Entrepreneurship course that I'm taking on coursera. My laptop didn't connect to the office wifi until the last 20 minutes of working hours. I used my phone to do some research and respond to emails.
One of the staff members was kind enough to give me a ride to Gachibowli where I got the bus to Lingampally. On the way we passed Roda Mistry College and I saw my error in traveling to the place the day before. I walked from Lingampally even though I had planned to catch an auto when I got to Chandanagar because it was after dark. I got to a point where I figured I made it this far, I'll just keep going. When I turned of PJR enclave, I started to doubt the decision but it was to late to turn back since auto's don't stop in that area since they already have passengers they are dropping off or that they just picked up from Aparna.
