The College itself is quite small. (Maybe its small but perfectly formed, we shall see)
It occupies 4 floors of a converted commercial office building in a part of the city called Santhome.
That said its quite a nice working environment, and from my office I have a view across the trees and roof tops to the Indian Ocean!
Here are some pics:
This a pic of the outside entrance.
The man standing next to the car is Saravan the college driver.
Im not sure if you can read the banner posters from the photograph.
The pair nearest the front entrance door say "Success by design" under the Raffles College Logo.
The one nearest has a pic of a flying yogi boy hovering above a design for a a sort of chair and underneath it says "We help you accomplished" your dreams. ( Can you spot the grammatical error in that sentence Che and do you think I should point it out to Pranav?)
After a whistlestop tour of the classrooms.studios and workshops Pranav introduced me to a rather slick looking young Indian named Pavel who works in marketing. Apparently this meant it was his job to give me my induction presentation. which meant he showed me a few slides of pictures of the college. Having just been shown the real thing by Pranav I didnt quite see the point of the pictures. I was about to tell him that my short term memory is still quite good so I didn't really need to see pictures again to remind me where I was but then he showed me pictures of some of the other Raffles Colleges along with location maps.
His whole style of presentation was slightly MI5, and I began to wonder if Raffles was just a front for some sort of Secret Service Organisation. Either way he managed to convey that I was privy to important inside information and so I kept quiet. He then went on to mentioned things like term dates, holidays, and various conditions of employment in my contract. Apparently there is a whistleblower clause- I wonder if I am breaking it here? Best not publicise this blog too much eh?)
