41/3 Mahatma Gandhi Road Bangalore, Karnataka, India, 560 001, 80-5660-4444
I got invited last minute to help out with some recruiting in Bangalore and seeing how I haven't been there...off I went. Had a Thursday morning flight out with a couple other guys from the firm and when our driver finally showed up at the Bangalore airport to pick us up, we were whisked away to the India Institute of Management (or IIM for short). There are several IIM's across India and they are all equally hard to get into as these are the "Ivy League" equivalent of India business schools....
Bangalore, India bwulzWe arrived in Bangalore around 10: 00 AM on Friday. It was a 2 1/2 hour flight from New Delhi. It is really hard to describe the airports in India. The best way would probably be to picture a bus depot...in a dodgy part of town. Gates are posted on dry erase boards, and the waiting areas are small, and very, very basic. You have to be bused to your plane at every airport I've been to so far. The first thing that struck all of us was how much cleaner the air was in Bangalore compared to Delhi....
Bangalore, India choyt1427So yesterday we got lost trying to find the crawford market - we still haven't been there. We think we understand where it is now, and we will be heading there after this entry. Wer wandered around the city for about 3 hours on an unguided walking tour--but it was nice to see non-tourist areas....we saw an India bike repair shop--HILLAROUS, 400 bikes stacked on the sidewalk (that was the entire store). Eventually we got a taxi to go see the "washing ghat", where all the laundry from the entir...

Bangalore, Karnātaka, India darkstarI came to India with six cameras packed into a tan leather bag custom-made for a Leica camera and gear. This was my most self-indulgent luggage and is proving to be totally redundant. Five of the cameras are analogue, including two medium-format relics and a Russian Horizon panoramic, and though I like my toys I get by just fine with a single digital camera that I take with me everywhere. <br><br>I came to India such equipment in order to capture what I imagined ...
Bangalore, Karnātaka, India darkstar... really cool people at the party....very interestingly I met one of my best friend (Mahanth's) Cousin Vikram.....which was completley wild as I have never met him before....and he randomly came to this party....even more crazy, he grew up in bombay and so i told him that I have cousins in Bandra west (a neighborhood there) and he said "Oh yeah you mean the twins Karthik and Krathika". I was completely shocked....he knew them growing up and used to go to ...
Bangalore, Karnataka, India indiatrip2009... Friday with my first ever Children's Day celebration (Children's Day is actually India's independence day), which included local dancing and singing, silly skits, addresses and plenty of smiling kids. The weekends on campus are less action-filled but mostly structured for the House of Joy kids. Both Saturday and Sunday afternoon after chores were done there was time for a pickup game of basketball (during which the kids reminded me how old I'm getting!) while other ...
Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India texaspeyton... Allyson seemed to think I’d ruined the ploy, and that Mohammed had specifically instructed us to say we were visitors. I was skeptical, but when he finally tracked us down Mohammed was indeed a bit ****** that I’d given the game away. “You told them you live here,” he accused. “They say you are not visitor and they don’t give me anything.” What do they give you, I asked, finally catching on. “One ...
Bangalore, Karnātaka, India darkstar... very heavily and lasted for 20 minutes. My hubby was little apprehensive but I was confident and did not allow him to take over and drove carefully eventhough I was little tense.<br><br>We took another break after crossing the second Toll Plaza at 4:15 pm. We ordered Onion Pakoras which tasted like non-veg. We played there for some time with the basket ball we brought with us. When we resumed it was 4:50 pm. From here we did not stop anywhere except when I handed back the ...
Bangalore, Karnataka, India vphebbareBangalore is called the IT city. Chances are if you get through to an Indian call centre you are speaking to someone ove qualified and underpaid in Bamgalore! It is as close as India gets to being "modern/western", dotted with chain coffee shops, Levis jeans stores and shopping malls. Most of the younge generation here wear western style dress, and girls and boys openly date and even hold hands, which is a big no no elsewhere. All this westernisation is a bit wierd ...
