Steam

After our unsuccessful attempt to get to Chennai on time for a tour of the Royal Enfield factory, we stopped for lunch along the coast as we headed for our consolation destination, Pondicherry. It was so hot and humid out there – like 99°F with 60% humidity – that just getting out of the air conditioned car caused my glasses to fog up pretty severely, creating the humorous photo opportunity you see here :)
On a less humorous note, I failed to connect this phenomenon with the potential for similar behavior in my considerably more delicate and expensive camera and computer. As a result, during our subsequent time in Pondy, my Canon 5D Mark II fogged up pretty badly, over and over again, until it just stopped working. Yes, I am new here. And yes, over the next two days it did dry out and begin behaving normally again.

This guy painted this chicken. I took this photograph. We are both proud of our creations.

Join Worshipping The Lord

In Chennai we saw this poster everywhere and kind of fell in love with this kooky preacher and his guitar.

Where Phil Works
.
This is the towering Adobe office on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore where I work. It may look large, but it is utterly dwarfed by the buildings all over B’lore belonging to such behemoths as Accenture (3 bigger-than-airport facilities on Bannerghatta alone!), Accentis, Conexant, Enventure, Infineon, InfoSys, and so on. I guess only 10 years ago this place was all gardens and goats, and BAM, technology happened.
Anyway, I am proud to be working for a company whose name is an actual WORD.
Infineon? What the hell does that even mean?
