Back at home

Back home for a few days, the last couple of days in KL have been hellishly busy because of work. At some point, I felt I was back in school again, not a good feeling. Learnt something about the origins of the word 'Posh', goes to the British Raj days. The ships that would sail to India had 2 classes of seats. The ones that was on the side that the sun shone were reserved for Royalty and the other set was reserved for common folks. As the journey progressed, the port side seats were switched to starboard side ones because of the changing position of the sun and these seats were known as Posh seats. Obviously the word picked up in the due course of history, so much so that footballers have wives called 'Posh'. We watched 'World's fastest Indian' today. First off, this has nothing to do with Indians in the subcontinent but has everything to do with speed. Anthony Hopkins does the lead role and he has done a fantastic job :). Its a feel good movie and testament to spirit and determination but in a totally non-aggressive manner. One of the better movies this year, worth a watch. Priya is beginning to twidle her thumbs, so skype her if you have time to kill. I am going back on the road for a few days, should be back by the weekend. Though frankly looks like the rest of the year is shot, we are working on a very interesting opportunity so usually translates to more face time with the customer so automatically means that we have to be in the country for longer periods of time. I will be spending most of November in Kuala Lumpur. India's dismal performance on the pitch reiterates my fear that we are going to miserably fail in the world cup next year. For starters, Sehwag should be dropped and perhaps some radical changes in line up should be made. Quite unlikely, given the current political tinkering that the selection committee is prone too. I went to the World MBA fair in Munich to support the INSEAD booth last week. The conversations with some of the wannabe candidates were eerily familiar. Needless to say my advice was on tap. We had Johannes and family for lunch, had a great time and enjoyed their company. Kids were very sweet and quite well behaved. Any advice on what to do in Hong Kong?
