Fan in Chicago Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Hey guys, Just writing a quick note from India where I have been vacationing for the past 2 weeks and will be for the next 5 days or so. Missed the Chiefs and Bears game though none of them gave us the coveted first win. I was supposed to return this Saturday but work called and gave me an opportunity to present at a conference so will be back next week. Some views from this side of the globe: - The Obama visit was a huge hit. Newspapers, TV, people were totally enamoured by both the Obamas and there is lot of respect for them here. The question most often raised was how his visit really helped the Indian economy (which I suppose is a good thing for the US economy if you believe in a zero sum game which ofcourse it never is) - It is friggin hot here in Mumbai even in November and most houses I visit don't have a/c. Friends and relatives have been going overboard to entertain me though - Food is incredible - been eating everything I want, any where I want and so far the tummy is totally stable - Have been following the Bills the rare times I find an internet cafe and I suppose this was as good a year as any to miss three games. having said all of the above, I am already home sick and can't wait to get back. Stay cool my friends and see you on the other side in a few days.

It has some beautiful things and some very friendly people, and it also had some of the worst areas I've been in my life, and that's saying something. In the end, very glad I went. Gave me a good perspective on a completely different part of the world and way of life.
