Shades of Grey...

Last few days have been quite eventful - travelled Indian Airlines, Jet and Kingfisher for the first time being the least of them :)

Got a job offer from a PE firm - rather surprising given current conditions in the financial market. Visited a couple of villages in the poverty-ridden areas of Maharashtra. Met quite senior officials in the state bureaucracy - saw a start contrast in policy making objectives and implementation when it comes to government initiatives.

Traveled for 3 continuous days. Fell asleep during a high profile meeting with government officials. Had a Taste of India - the farmers in the fields we visited prepared tea for us using the traditional cow dung as fuel and shakkar as a sweetener.

And so many more things, probably will write about them individually in detail later.
