Okay I’m back .. I have been back for just over a week and today is my second day in work. The trip back was okay in the end.  None of us couldn’t sleep as we all couldn’t wait to get to the airport.  The Jet flight from Bangalore to Delhi was amazingly on time and it took 2 and half hours. Once in Delhi the 5 hours ...

So my last full day in Bangalore.  I headed out to The Leela Palace to checkout a shop, but I came away empty handed.  On my way back to the hotel I stocked up on supplies for today and the trip home tomorrow.  I took the opportunity to take a couple of pics of the door men.  They have a been a contact source of entertainment ...

Another day another rupee.  No wake up call today, but I couldn’t sleep anyway and headed out to work way early.  It was good to see that the rickshaws can be used for other things like a delivery truck! The roads are dead quite today, it the Dashera festival, and most people have the day off, except people in IT support ...

My automatic alarm clock was late today.  The banging didn’t start until 0940!  I was well awake by then.  So today I need a to do a Beer and supply run, so it was off the Leela to get the Kingfishers and then to the corner shop to complete the orders for crisps and mars bars. On the way back to the hotel the sight was quite ...

Well I don’t need to set my alarm clock anymore.  I am guaranteed a wake up <Bang><Bang> around 0920.  So I got up, turned AXN on and started writing up my blog.  I watched Fear Factor! But they cut one of the 3 stunts out of it.  Dunno why, as they didn’t even tell you what it was, but I suspect it was ...

Bloody 0920 again … the banging starts.  I watched the news, talk about the earthquake in northern India and then the F1 qualifying and then headed out.  I spoke to reception and said when will the building works finish .. he said later tonight.  I don’t think he understood!  I wanted to go up to MG Road ...

I know, I'm a wining pom, but I was not the only one woken up at 0920 with the banging.  To start with it sounded like it was coming from outside, but then it moved to inside .. Apart from that sleep was good, and I headed off to the office after watching some CSI Miami on AXN The day ticked along nicely.  We headed out for supplies ...

Well the Imodium seems to have worked together with a very good nights sleep. I got up, showered and headed into work .. well what else is there to do?   I watched Fear Factor on the TV before it went off again! Today it’s nice and warm, not too hot, and my walk to work is good .. I do like the walk, you get to experience things ...

Yippy TV is back!  I didn’t sleep very well at all again.  Another Hot, Cold, Itchy night with a stomach going 10 to the dozen.  Time for some more Imodium. I feel like a bit of a quartermaster.  I headed out to the Leela Palace to stock up my fridge with Kingfisher .. when you buy the bottle it’s 51rs, but in ...

Didn’t have a very good nights sleep – I think it might have been the Thai I had for dinner – It was like it was itchy and hot and cold – very strange.  Anyway I get woken up, again at 0700 – “hello sir, your taxi is here” .. “No I don’t need or want at taxi at 0700 in the morning” ...

The weekend at last - time to chill and do nothing.  Dragged my butt of bed around noon .. excellent.  Poped down to the gym for a bit of a run.. They has the A1 GP on TV from last weekend.  It looked really good, lot of excitment and crashed – Not sure if it’s better than F1, but it’s only just starting. I chose ...

Wow, no phone call to wake me up at 0700.  Plenty of sleep until 1100. After 45 mins in the Gym, I dragged  my butt off to work.  I have no plan to train today, so lets see how things go 1500: Into work with my coffee and some diet pespi and catching up on blogs and email 1600: The guys start to trickle into work, they don’t ...

Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh even after telling the guy at receiption NOT to call me, I get a damm call at 0700.  Sh1t will I ever get any sleep.  I think I managed to dose, but that just made me mad. 1030 Time to get up and ready.  Today we have a team lunch at around 1300, so a long day is ahead.  I headed down to reception with ...

Getting ready for my 3rd tour of duty out in Bangalore again.  Have all my drugs, mossy spray and good old Imodium  ;-) This time it’s for 3 weeks, so I will be sick and tired to curries by the time I come back .. but I bet it’s the first dinner out I have.  Curries in India are very different to ones we get in the UK ...

Okay so my question is .. what have then done to make it safe?  or was the fact that you couldn’t use your phone just a load of BS so the airlines could make some more money?

So, another year and another trip to India.  So 0930 Sunday Morning, I have a lovely Air India Flight to Bangalore for a week of excitement. I'll fill you in on my travels.  It will actually be a good time for me to get used to having Vista on my Tablet, so lets see if I want to remove it by the time I come backA

So we finished with Brett & Brad’s chalk & talk and headed off to change and then go to the UK country drinks.  This was actually on of 4 parties that we knew about! This year, the Heineken Experience. They had beer, games and entertainment.  One of the games was quite amusing, it was a virtual reality game that looked like it ...
