Work has been extremely busy this week and a lot has changed in our turbulent lives. Monday of this week the 3rd and final Delivery Lead from the bank arrived. We all work for the organization known as the Network Computing Group but perform very different but related management functions. Gulshan is here to represent Database technologies, Mike who you can now see in the image blow, is representing Mainframe technologies and of course I am here to represent Middleware technologies. Gulshan also met and introduced us to a new friend named Divium. Divium is a lawyer working for UBS and the 4 of us have been inseparable for the last week finding new and intriguing places to eat after late hours at work.
The image below was taken on our way to a wonderful place in the City Center named Indi Joe’s. They serve a variety of cuisine and everything was top notch.
This Saturday the 3 Delivery Leads took a driver to the area known as Charminar. We wondered among wonderful 2nd world shops and street vendors and found amazing deals. We took a guided tour of a 500 year old mosque and snapped many photos. We also went to an area named “7 tombs” where a royal family who ruled for many generations incased their family in massive culturally designed tombs. This tour was also guided (both for 100 rupees each or about $1.50 US).
Tomorrow (Sunday) we’re headed out early in the morning to see someplace called Film City. We’re told this is the largest filming lot in India and is akin to Universal Studios in LA.
Since we've done so much in a short time, I decided to setup a photo album this week rather than write a long update about my impressions.

I hope you enjoy what you see. Please post if you have specific questions and email if you want large copies of any specific picture. The shopping photos are so large, you can zoom in on the originals and see wonderful detail. I took these primarily so my wife and family can relay their orders for my next trip into Charminar.
