Yesterday was my last day in Chetpet Office.

Chetpet Office !!??

Yes, it was a business center named Niche Business Centre located in 2nd Avenue, Harrington Road, Chetpet, Chennai. We rented it last December and we were working(a little, to be frank) from there till yesterday.

We??

Me and Rangachary Krishan, my best friend from college, constitutes that WE.

We were working together from early June 2009. I was working in PHP/MySQL, rather WordPress projects to be precise, mostly via elance.com and he worked in logo design and assisted me in little design stuffs that comes with the coding work I do.
He is actively participating in the design contents in 99designs.com.

Its really hard to work from home due to the abundance of disturbances, so we decided to look for an Office space and Ranga found this Business Center. Its located near the Lady Andal School in Harrington Road, a nice and calm place with lots of trees. We took a nice little two seater cabin and it cost us Rs.6500/Month and additional Rs.500/PC or Laptop. So we paid Rs.7500/month, little costly!. They also have a small pantry and support staffs for assistance and to give it an office feel. There were about 10 such cabins.

Its a good choice if you were looking for a work place for short duration. Not many were aware the existence such entity and we found it by chance while searching for a fully rented office and the advantage such place is zero investment and planning. If you like the cabin, just pay and occupy. When you are done, just leave. There were many such Business Centers and I saw one in Flowers Road, near Sangam Theater and another one in Haddows Road(ApeeJee Business Center).

Our cubicle was very similar to this but not this.
Here is the full address.
Niche Business Centre
No.10, first floor, Second Avenue,
Harrington Road,
Chetput, Chennai – 600 032.

(Don’t look in google maps its shows the location about a KM away from actual place )

Last week Ranga got an offer from his previous company and he(we) decided to accept it. So, we decided to vacate the office and did so yesterday. It was so simple, all that was needed was a letter and no prior notice, nothing.

So, wat’s next….!!??

I’m looking for another office space near my home!!!

Why office space!!?? Why not home!!??

Guess what! I just found the topic for next post

Its been a long time, rather very long time since I posted something. I was busy handling personal stuffs, laziness added to it and didn’t allow me to spend some time for blogging.
Lots had happened during the past year and I missed out to share them all. My career has changed and I’m now a freelancer working on PHP/MySQL projects and several WordPress Themes/Plugins.
I’m going to try my best to put my laziness and various reasons apart and start blogging actively again.

To start with I’m upgrading this WordPress installation to latest version – WordPress 2.9.2

Also, for long time I’m planning to design a WordPress Theme for myself and I keep procrastinating. My personal deadline to design a new theme is April 1st, I’m not fooling…! believe me…!!! Let’s see how it goes…!!!

Finally, I want to let you all know that I’m back!!!

The site was offline for the past few weeks, now its back online!!!

This site is now running from linode. Subscribed for their hosting plan Linode 360 yesterday (20April09).  I will be posting more details later, now little busy with projects

Between, I switched to Freelancing early this month.

I’m a Freelancer – Freelance Web developer now!!!

Also, I’m determined to blog regularly…… definitely more than just “Happy birthday” wishes to Bhavana

he he……
