A quickie from Delhi
March 25th, 2008Ok, I have 7 minutes till my first pre-launch meeting with my new project team… in New Delhi. Well technically we’re somewhat outside Delhi, in a neighboring state, actually. But nonetheless I’m in the Delhi office. I arrived this morning, about 2am local time after a fairly tiresome evening spent in the airport very unrestfully fixing the consequences of what was probably a poor choice.
By the time I cleared the endless immigration line–I started reading On The Road while balancing my bags out of determination not to put them on the very dusty floor–and checked into the hotel it was already 4am. This was of course after I was moved to a very nice executive suite, which probably resulted from the large lightbulb that frighteningly EXPLODED in a shower of glass shards over my luggage while I was being checked into a much more ordinary room.
I want to note Kieran’s lovely help (from Chicago? Las Vegas? Unclear) in finding out the hotel address even as I trundled along in the dead of the Indian night in a taxivan swarming with lazy mosquitos (I turned my collar up to avoid tempting them). Merci!
Ok, time to go to this meeting.
