To India and Back

May 24th, 2006 at 5:32 am

It’s funny how quickly you fall back into work during the week. It is already Tuesday night and I look and see that the last thing I posted about was this past weekend. The week so far has been pretty uneventful, with not much going on other than work. Tomorrow we plan to visit another mall before heading to our host company’s other office in Delhi. The change of work scenery will be nice anyway.

I have had some really cool conversations with some new friends I have met here. Some of the people I am working with have been in the US a number of times and have a really good perspective on India culture versus culture in US and other parts of the world. One thing i see India doing right is they have made a strong investment in the education of their people. You will regularly run into people here that have their Masters or are working towards it and the thought of extra school seems to come a a given to those here that can afford it. Sure there is a lot of poverty in the country, but there is also a lot of good happening. It isn’t surprising to me that we are seeing a lot of work coming here with so much being invested in the education of the young people. The US better step up.

I had more to say, but it is now 4 hours since I typed the rest of that post and about 5:30am. Talk to you tomorrow.
