Long, busy and fun day… I woke at 7 refreshed and pretty much feeling on time zone.. After a quick breakfast I met my driver and new freind Kumar for the ride to IBM Munyata.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s a good guy ..quiet.. and a good tourguide<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I loved the rush and chaos of Bangalore traffic .. though I confess the novelty probably would wear off pretty soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I managed to snap this picture of a building label that\u00a0 I keep seeing “National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects”\u00a0 The NBOAII likely sits in front fo the NBOAUI “National Bureau of Agriculturally Unimportant Insects”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Got to IBM in short order. This line of people I’m told.. is new hires.. There’s a line like this most days.. WoW !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I took the stairs.. good thing I’d finished my coffee
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I gave a talk for a bunch of people today.. many by phone.. not sure the message came across, but I so enjoyed doing it. I ran into several freinds including my doppleganner patent buddy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

then a quick lunch with freind Rajesh (Dosas !)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then a bunch of really great meetings with the teams here in India.. They are doins amazing things here. It’s so cool to see how much the team has grown and developed over the 8 or so years Ive been visiting. Simply remarkable..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had an early dinner with freinds at a Rajastani Tali place.. they kept bringing cool bowls of stuff.. each dip or spoon was a surprise.. would it be sweet ? savory ? spicy ? Weird ? .. I had a little of each (sweet spicy, savory, weird) ..overall very. very tasty.\u00a0 they are not giving me hot enough spices.. must seek some out ..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, my very good freind Wolfgang from Texas was also in town with new freind Mindy and several very nice guys I haden’t met from IBM Boebligen Germany<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Tali place had no beer so afterwads we corssed the street to another restaurant and had a beer together.. note that Indian Beer floresces green with an ultrovilet laser.. just like tequilla.. whats with that ?
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Another good round of conversations. Wofgang and I talked about our kids .. and the difficultyof being a gen y-er in these times.. very good catching up with him . Also great catching up with old friend Murali..and hearing about his recent wedding (congrats )\u00a0 he was kind enough to give me a ride back to my hotel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now I jst gotta sleep.. More from EGL tomorrow !<\/p>\n

nite all, nite Sam<\/p>\n
