Bangalore

Almost failed to make it onto the plane as Singapore Airlines did not appear to have my booking. In the end I managed to get on after being wait listed. Business class flight, which was nice. Bangalore airport was as shambolic as ever. I failed to stop the porters from grabbing my luggage and was forced to pay $10 to get it back off them and onto my taxi.
Different hotel this time - the Ivy - on the outer ring road. Near airport and new office, but otherwise, the middle of nowhere. No good for getting to the centre of town, but OK for two nights.
The new Subex office is sill like a building site, but at least it will be convenient having everyone in the same place at last.
On Monday evening, I was invited to the Post-wedding party given by Rohan, one of the Optima development team. Good food, but not a drink in sight. Rohan took pity on me and got the waiter to smuggle me a beer or two.
Looking forward to getting home tomorrow.
