Its not easy to change your work environment. But now-a-days company switch and location change is a trend between IT industry professionals. When I relocated to Gurgaon, I too felt some changes but IBM gives you an opportunity to create a homey environment at any office across India (or may be worldwide.)
When I entered in office first time after relocation, the very first task was to get a seat. There were lots of options. Shortly I came to know people usually work from home and don't used their assigned seats. Even some people only do came to office twice in a month. So, in Pune where office space was at crunch where as in Gurgaon you hardly found people in office.
I was having an info already that where 'Remote' employees sit, so without looking all over just moved to a seat where 'passing by people' can't see my monitor. In office, social networking sites are most visited/browsed after Google.
After seat problem resolution, which was easy task, another problem was lunch group. For the first week I had to go lunch alone, as without team I didn't had much options. I looked around the office, find out places where employees kill the office time etc.
I came to know very quickly that without team or friends office place will start biting me, so before things happened to hurt me, I took a lead to the situation and talked to nearby colleagues by asking usual help like movies, songs and games. You know, all software people love this stuff on computers.
Now, I had a friend circle, and one area of the office become live, and the remaining area usually stared at us. Both of the sides were wondering how the change came to them at work.
So, the first month I spent on, making friends and lunch circle. It was a great opportunity to me, about testing my skills "how to make friends" which I have learned at Pune with mistakes.
After first month, again time started flying. Weekend at home, busy work with house construction. And I too got time to placate friends, who wished that I should have visited them frequently.
With hope for the best...
"सुनामी करवा देती है, नाविक की ताकत का एहसास,
दूरीयाँ बता देती है, प्यार की गहरायी का एहसास;
उभरता है कौशल अ-राही, हर किसी के परखने से,
संयम ही देता है, हर मजबूरी से लड़ने का एहसास"
