Postcard from Bangalore

Arrived in Bangalore yesterday after two long days in Hyderabad. Weather is much cooler and actually rather English. View from my hotel is very Englash as well. However once one travels out to where our many office sites are one sees the India one imagines. Really quite startling. Construction everywhere, both Hyderabd and here. Think of the North Ryde complex and any one of the towers, Oracle or HP etc and think of buildings three or 4 times that size. That is the size of the campuses being biult and already built here. One of our Satyam campuses has five large buildings with another 7 storey tower going up.

Am working much longer hours than expected and meeting so many wonderful people. All very enjoyable. Am being extremely careful with food. I think red wine is safe so that is a good substitute :-)

I think we are down to 4 peoplke reading the blog so hello to Anne, Stephanie and George :-) Hope you are all well and maybe we will catch up later in May. I say that because I am working in Chennai on Monday and Tuesday, then in Macau for the rest of the week and next weekend. I am back in Sydney around 14th so drinks after that. I'll let you treat me for my birthday. :-) three drinks and I can still drive home :-)

Oh and did I mention the traffic.. how could I not tell you about that.. it is awsome.. I will never ever complain about Sydney traffic again. The drive from the office last night was 25km and it too 2 hours. Lots to see though and many many pictures taken along the way, well at that speed I could :-)

Best wishes.. Michael
