No photos

Today is the first day for about 2 weeks that I have not taken a photo. So instead here is one I took last night, of a tractor who’s wheel fell off in the middle of the crossroads near my hotel spilling rubble all over the road.

Tractors are pretty rubbish over here….

Failed Sari Dressing

Here i can be seen rather pathetically dressed in the yellow fabric….behind me the wheel which i rolled across the stage and pushed over. Not a good look….

Beauty Contest

For some unknown reason I was volunteered to go up on stage to supposedly judge a beauty contest. This of course was not the case at all.

Bug-man

I was standing minding my own business in the foyer of the AOL building, when all of a sudden there was this terrifically loud lawnmower-like sound. I turned around to see a man, with a petrol-powered-insect repellent-smoke-blower.

Busy day for traffic

Having sat in traffic for about 20 minutes this morning with the engine off and no A/C, I decided to make a run for it. I jumped out of the car and decided to make my way to work on foot.

Working next to Coconut husks

Continuing the busy busy busy theme, here I can be seen with laptop next to a pile of empty coconuts.

Lift-based work

Here I am, so busy, I even need to work while traveling between floors. The lift attendant kindly let me use his seat while being lifted between the ground floor and the first floor so I could quickly sneak in an extra IM.

Strangely it is necessary to use the lift to get to the first floor as their are no stairs unless there is a dreadful fire.

Mcdonalds

So despite having Indian curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner there are other options.
