My dream comes true

My dream comes true)))

I am so happy that at last I work in the hotel, 5 star, very unique and in sales and marketing!!!
It is so cool!!! But not this is the main... The main are always people for me and I like people here so much... the way how thy behave, the way they treat to us... Of course sometimes I don't know what to expect and how to react on some things, but it is so interesting all the time, you can open new and new in this world)))

First days at my work I was so shy and didn't know how to behave, what to ask and what to do...
But it is ok for me during the first days... I always behave like that))) but in some places of work where I was before it could take months or ages that means that I didn't manage to get used to the company, wasn't involved enough... so here it is not like that))) and I am so happy)))

Of course usually I am very affected by the team and my head with whom I work)))
But here it seems to me that everything will be ok))) I have to get this experience, I want it so much!!!! I am looking forward for new and new information))

I and Janka who work with me, we like our head of sales and marketing department)))
She is so professional, I want learn a lot from her. And I like the way like she treats to her department, like to her children, so it makes as more that team, we began feeling like we are in a family!!! It great feeling))) And when I first met General Manager of the hotel his question was - "Do you feel like in family, comfortable?" It is so nice)) I like it.

It is nice that our head, Mrs. Moumita, pays attention to the details, tells us straight what she thinks about the way we look like, about our clothes, make up, even our body and face language and tells us how to make it better. It is very important to know if you gonna to have a lot of communications, negotiations with the clients and will be representatives of such hotel.

It is so great that we can affect and make something for this people, we can help this so to say newly born hotel to get better image and good name. On the one hand it makes the work more difficult, on the other hand more responsible, more interesting and creative!!! It should be very important experience!!!

Festival in Kolkata

Now one festival began in Kolkata, its name is Rathayatra, it is one of the popular one. Actually there are so many of them in India, all of the are religious, very bright and colorful, you can see a loot symbols and traditions in it)) The Rath Yatra festival falls on the late of June or early July. It is celebrated in the honour of Lord Jagannath an avatar of Vishnu. This year it began on 13th of July and will last till 21th of July, so it last for about one week.

So I will show a little information about this festival.

It is a huge Hindu festival associated with Lord Jagannath held at Puri in the state of Orissa,India during the months of June Most of the city's society is based around the worship of Jagannath (Krishna) with the ancient temple being the fulcrum of the area. The festival commemorates Lord Jagannath's annual visit to his aunt's home.

Though this festival is very special in India, the main Rath Yatra takes place in the holy town of Puri. At other places, those devotees of Lord Jagannath, who cannot make it to Puri, take out similar processions on a much smaller scale. Notable are the ones at Ramnagar (near Varanasi), and Jagannathpur (near Ranchi).

Rathayatra is celebrated to mark the beginning of harvest season. It is owing to this fact that it is considered a very auspicious time. This festivity is of prime importance in villages and towns

So are going to visit it during these days, I don't know when exactly, but I want so much)))
May be tomorrow...)))

Party time))

So yesterday we decided to go to the club “Plush”, cause one guy had his birthday. So actually his birthday is today, but it is better to go to club on Wednesday.That is why we celebrated it in the club yesterday.

First we presented him a cake, very nice one, chocolate))) but as we bought it next to our place of work it took us so much time to get home and when at last we were at home it melted already. ((( but anyway it was so tasty and it was enough for 11 people)))

after we went to the club, the name of it is "Plush". It is situated not to far from our trainee house.)

Actually it was very funny, we danced a lot))) but after at 02.30 it was difficult to get taxi and all of taxi drivers who were close to the club asked for at least 200 RS, that is to many for them, maximum 70-100 Rs))

But we managed to fine one taxi driver who agreed to give us drive to home))

I liked it))) it was my first visit to the club in India))) everything was cool, but it is a great pity that there were only European modern music, not Indian)) we even asked whether they have something more traditional, but unfortunately nothing(( anyway it was funny))) cool guys, cool atmosphere)) I even forgot that I was in India)))

I was so relaxed)))

so below are photo report))) enjoy it))
