Managed to get away from the office in the end by about 8:30 and started the packing process. Not great. Flying tomorrow at 6:45am. Inhumane is the only way to describe it.

This will probably be the last post in this series. Until I get to go again of course! Huge thanks go out to everyone who has looked after me while I am here.

I will miss, the comedy of inter-continental stand-ups; rampaging elephants; motorbike rides; my pointless second bedroom; amazing temples, free lunch; roof-top swimming pools; cheap Kingfisher; cows asleep in the road; the sunshine; over-staffed hotels; the drive to work.

I really won’t miss bus journeys; lack of simple understanding and logic; late taxis; quality of work lunch; bugs; writing GATs; over-taking on blind bends; potholes in roads; the smell; needless bureaucracy; photography prohibited; arguing with security guards; curd; “just 2 minutes, sir”

So its the final afternoon of the final day and I gathered everyone I have worked with who were available in the reception of 3B…

Unfortunately there is a rule where you cannot take photos on-site or in the building. Clearly this rule must be flouted as it is ridiculous. I marched to the site office and demanded I take the pictures. They said no, for absolutely no reason, so we took the picture anyway while some silly security guard bleated.

I am extremely pleased with the result…..Authority must always be challenged when such great images are at stake. Common sense will always win, along with mischief and hands-together

So an early flight on Saturday morning meant that last night was the last night out of my stay. We went to a slightly strange jungle themed bar. It was fairly noisey in there and all the bar staff looked like safari guides.

It was a pretty hairy journey to the bar on the back of Siva’s motorbike. I think I saw more cows and buffaloes than people. They are kind of like unofficial traffic wardens, inadvertently controlling the traffic by generally getting in the way and sitting slumped across lanes like lazy beasts. I have yet to find out how many road deaths of cows there are every year, but I think there must be quite a few. I don’t fancy the chances of an Auto if striking one of these things. The cow may even come off better. This should of course be tested.

Unfortunately all the bars/pubs close at 11pm, so it was a relatively early night ready for more worky stuff the following day. I could hardly sleep in anticipation for the team photo today.

Here Siva and I can be see with goblets. Siva is a true legend over here and is a particularly suitable candidate for taking on the mantle of feeds work.

Although this photo is a little outside the right order of things, i thought I would include it anyway.

The guy who suggested I volunteered for the whole charade sent me this and I quite like how it has come out. The mixture of fear and deep thought over what I can get away with in front of effectively nearly 1000 people from the client comes across in my face I think.

Hopefully I will have the full video by the end of the week.

Just catching up on a few emails on the back of the bike. There really is no time to lose. Every moment needs to be captured to maximise the ability to send and receive emails.

Below I can be seen driving past the Accenture buildings. Working while on the back of a bike isnt as easy as it seems. We had a number of complaints from security guards who were stood around. To get them off my back I simply told them “This is ok, ok? This is definitely ok”. They were good with that.

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….
