Fika (The best thing at work )

Best thing I like about my office is fikapaus or fikarast ! :-)

Its tradition here , during every day work we take two coffeepaus at 9 :00 in morning and 14:30 in evening. how much work do you have or you are overloaded with work but no one skips fika with colleagues .

The best part of tradition is Friday Fika when one of the team member who has his /her turn have to bring special fika for everyone , here we have card/token in every team , the person responsible for fika for that particulate Friday keep this at his desk and pass it to next person on next Monday for next week Frydag Fika !!

Whatever the reason what ever the occasion is like if one buys a home , car or pass his car in test bring fika for every one .

when it was my turn , I thought of taking some India stuff for my team and then changed my mind as I was not sure whether they will like it or not ,then I bought Sandwiches for everyone .

I must say here No one takes their coffee breaks more seriously than Swedish !

Kanel bullar ( Cinnamon rolls )

Semla

Kaka ( or cake apple / banana / carrot )

Sandwich

Princes cake

Saffransbröd (Bread)

Religion in Sweden

"Is religion an important part of your daily life?"

My experience about religion and belief is totally different of what I have thought about a Christine country

I have rarely see people go to Church and most of them are immigrants converted Christens .

Even religious education covering all major world religions is compulsory in public schools they read about all religion and Gods , Hinduism , Buddhism , Islam , etc , they have knowledge about all religion but only few have belief in God , most of them do not believe there is any sort of spirit, god, or life force.

Experiment with Name

I would like to share an intresting part of my stay here , its how they call me its hard to Pronounce my name as they don't have a different pronunciation for alphabets here .

They pronounce J as "Y" and Y as "yee " so its Viyayee :D

It took some time and effort and finally they manage to call me "Vj" Not Vijay :P

Me n My work ..

Joind office today , will work here as consultant in Engine Devlopment .. Introduction with team members and boss ..

Egalitarian

Egalitarianism (from French égal, meaning "equal") is a trend of thought that favors equality of some sort among moral agents, whether persons or animals. Emphasis is placed upon the fact that equality contains the idea of equity of quality.

An egalitarian favors equality of some sort: People should get the same, or be treated the same, or be treated as equals, in some respect. Egalitarian doctrines tend to express the idea that all human persons are equal in fundamental worth or moral status.
