Tidbits

Have been in delhi for an entire week and will be for another one! Will wonders never cease?

So not much adventure news then. My friend Dana and I and his girlfriend went out at 4:30am on Sunday to do a photo shoot near Old Delhi. I got into playing with different types of photos so most turned out pretty shoddy. What-ev. The pictures here are all from that. Dana and I have also started rollerblading in the big empty roads of Embassy part of Delhi on Sunday mornings. It's pretty surreal. Nothing like the Delhi I live in.

So the big news this week was that my driver, Satender's eldest daughter graduated from high school! Grades came out this week and while she didn't do well she did graduate. Not doing well however means no college. Her only option at this point are correspondence school. I was happy that Satender celebrated her success as some families put a lot of pressure on kids here. And he's obviously very progressive as he wanted to ask her what she wanted to do! But sadly he also said it doesn't really matter as she'll be married off in a few years and will stop working anyways. Sigh.

Did I mention here before that my house keeper's son also passed his first year of school? She brought me his report card, it was when my mom was here and it was mostly As but she didn't know if that was good or not. It also said he was very naughty! That's what she and everyone else keep saying too:)

Everyone else is doing fine - guard had a new baby girl and one of my direct reports' wife had a baby boy. Lots of excitement.
