Today was my first day at the ThoughtWorks Bangalore 2 office. The people seem very nice here. We have floors 2-4. The second floor is where the snack room is, and the 4th floor (open to the air) is where lunch and breakfast are served, and there are games tables if you want to play pingpong. Everywhere in between is work space- classy, clean, well-supplied work space.

Future TWUers: Between B2 and Diamond, there is a mall which contains a grocery store called Spar, which is reputed to have lots of "international" food if you're homesick.
