Three weeks in India -- Day Six
I have less to report today than I might. We awoke this morning (Saturday) to a steady rainfall, something that isn't expected much at this time of year or so I'm told. I felt tired still and because of the weather and the fact that I have yet one more full weekend here I decided to forgo the sightseeing and shopping we'd planned. I rested some, read some, ate some, drank some, and will do all of the above some more before the day is done.
Also caught most of the final World Series game this morning -- all I can say is that if Jeff Weaver had pitched for the Yankees as he did for the Cardinals the Yanks would've stood a great chance of winning the WS a few years back. Instead, he gets to join the Kenny Rogers "Can Pitch Anywhere But NY Club". Well.
Anyway, it's a good thing I get to rest since the days are very tiring, standing up in front of a group of people talking for most of 8 hours. So I'll leave you with a few more pictures. Our office here is located in an area known as Hi-Tec City, a part of Hyderabad that's undergone tremendous construction in the last 5-6 or so years to house the software, call centers, and back office operations of foreign companies. The immediate setting is a raised and rocky outcrop, and by rocky I supposed I mean not so much strewn with rocks as with boulders -- huge boulders, sometimes naturally stacked one on top of the other. You can see something of what I mean in the next photo, showing modern office buildings in the backround on the left, older buildings in the backround to the right, and large boulders in the foreground, including one that has been shaved flat by the landscape architects. The view is from a narrow balcony.
Here's another view that overlaps the first, with a better view of the foreground.
