Zzzzzzzzzz . I already fell asleep twice before I realized I hadn’t blogged this evening. We’ve transferred hotel as my week shifts from my IBM meeting to the Vendor meeting tomorrow. Right now we’re in the Leela<\/st1:placename> Palace<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>.. and it IS a palace. I’ve never been In a more opulent hotel.. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to our room from reception. It’s a perfect setting for a spy movie.. Gabe says it’s a   <\/span>place to film a movie about Clue.. there’s a library. A conservatory.. Where’s the lead pipe ? <\/p>\n

 <\/o:p>Changing hotels was a full day job for  <\/span>Diane and Gabe.. I worked at my IBM meeting until 4:30<\/st1:time> then hired a car to the new hotel.. The IBM meeting was really fu ad really hard.. Lots of passion, lots of ideas.. and lots more to do (!). I love the people I was working with.. so that’s ok..
 <\/span><\/o:p>
When I got to the new hotel Diane and Gabe we’re already in a room.. but it had two small beds.. not enough for three big folks like us.. Don’t get the wrong idea.. the room was palatial !.. It had everything including a remote control operated set of blinds between the bathroom and the bedroom.. I went of to a grown-up dinner with some friends fro the company that’s sponsoring this event.. When I came back.. they’d moved us into a different room.. Also very nice .. but we’ve traded the electronic Venetian blonds for a balcony overlooking Bangalore<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.. Not a bad trade.. <\/p>\n

 <\/o:p>I don’t have more than 3 minutes of wakefulness.. so I’m just going to give some pictures from the day.. and fall asleep.. I hope in that order.<\/p>\n

A family begging\/. like so many here. ..

Thep overty here rips at my heart. This mother had a sick child and an even younger child walking in traffic begging. the kid could not have been 6 years old. I’ve been told by everyone not to give money.. becaue it causes a riot.. but not doing anyhing is so wrong..   It rocks me to my core.. I can’t stop thinkign about it.<\/div>\n
