Trip to India

I finally gave in and decided to attend the engagement ceramonies in India. I am hoping that this will break the routine and it will be a bit relaxing. There are a lot of things to take care of before I leave at 7pm on Thursday evening (1/12/2006). At about 3:30pm I was heading home from the office after sending out a bunch of emails, talking to countless people and testing some code. At this point I'm looking forward to going.

The weather in Chicago is really nice today because I'm leaving. This happens every time I leave town. Good way to plan an event for someone or book a trip to Chicago; Just Check with me when I'm going on vacation.

I'm writing this blog so I have something fun to do on the trip and it gives me an excuse to use the computer.

I packed last night around 2am so not sure what I'm forgetting. I'm taking one bag which weighs about 50lbs, not sure why it weighs so much but by traditional Indian travelling standards, I'm travelling light. I also have a backpack which holds my laptop, cables, camera, mp3 player, and one pair of clothing, oh and some Indian currancy.

I expect to upload pictures and may be some videos. My goal is to inform as well as entertain. In return, I'm hoping that you'll leave comments and read my blog.
