My second day at work began quite early. I was so pleased with myself for having handled the time change so well until approximately 4:30am today. I woke up and could not fall back asleep. I knew of a Sens game I could watch on my Mac at 6am so did a bit of work. It turned into more than I had bargained for so missed the whole first period. When I turned it on it was the end of the first and Ottawa was up 2-0. What a pleasure that was being so far from home but able to watch hockey.
I have been chatting quite a bit with Chandra about cricket in our spare time and we are both committed to my understanding the game while spending the next three weeks in Hyderabad. I initially am thinking of spending my second weekend here in Goa, some 900k west of here on a sweet body of water referred to as the Arabian sea. I prefer to call it the Indian ocean but geographites would take exception to that. My third weekend is so far a toss up between Kolkata and Delhi. I need to scope them out beforehand and then will book something through the internet or lean on a colleague here.
My first weekend is for Hyderabad and I will get guidance from the locals at the office about where to go to see the most typical Hyderabad-style India streets. I have as yet to see the overwhelming throngs of people that I was told to watch out for but I am sure I will not be disappointed.
We have meetings with all the people from everywhere in India working for Pythian. There are about 17 people here and I was told this is the first time they have all been together in one place. I am honoured.
