#ibmcsc India 14
The day was started with lots of thunderstorm and heavy rain-- monsoon season is here. People told us that only in Madras do they have a wet Diwali. Though that did not hamper the celebrating spirit. It is almost midnight now and fireworks have been heard quite loudly. Good thing that I had taken a nap earlier in the day.
Today, as we wrapped up the interviews with various groups, we were very honored to be able to meet with Ms. Leela Samson, the Director of Kalakshetra. She is beautiful and gracious, well spoken. Mr. Menon was there as well. Kalakshetra is well represented with both Ms. Samson and Mr. Menon.
Returning back to the guest house a bit earlier than normal, I went straight to bed for a nap. The nap was rather long. So I missed a great shopping opportunity with Susanna and Jana ;-< Next time I guess.
As a team, we tried to agree on some activities for tomorrow -- I don't know how that's going to be -- Type A personality abound. Personally, I like to do something that is well planned and it's hard for me to do anything impromptu. I'd like to see if I can visit Mysore though. Perhaps we should look into that..
Susanna, Fred, Joel, Christian, Fernan and I went to Zara, a tapas bar for dinner. It has the atmosphere of a night club (no dancing though), loud, 70's, 80's Western music ranging from Abba, Roxette to Michael Jackson, Van Helen.... Interesting ambience.
