This is to all you nay-sayers out there

I had a few minutes and thought I would write a quick entry because there are some cool things going on.

First of all, I wanted to share this article from the New York Times about working in India. The article is very interesting and really highlights the value of the position I have taken with "IndiaIT". On the down side, it seems to make my pitch a bit less timely as they've been covering the topic quite a bit lately. Anywho, this is also for all of you who couldn't believe that I would move to India after graduation. You'll be eating your words when you all work for me!

M.B.A. Students Bypassing Wall Street for a Summer in India

"The final 40, who cut a wide academic swathe from engineering schools like M.I.T. and Carnegie Mellon to business schools like Stanford, Wharton and Kellogg, have since arrived on campus for average stays of three months. The interns work in areas from marketing to technology. They live in a 500-room hotel complex on Infosys' expansive campus in the suburbs of Bangalore, exchanging coupons for meals at the food court and riding the company bus downtown to decompress at the many pubs and bars."

To think that these are the "interns" and I'm an executive. Seems a bit backwards, eh?

Be sure to check out the picture. That person sure looks familiar, doesn't he? You may not recognize him because he's not drunk with a banana leaf on his head. Don't let him fool you, though. Jason may look serious in this picture, but he's actually looking at porn on his lunch break.

So two new US hires showed up last night. They are Pete from Cornell and Laura from Georgetown. Again, I'm suprised/impressed with how intelligent and cool these recruits are. I'm glad Josh did a good job choosing my friends for the next 18 months. It's also nice to have more people to hang out with at Adarsh.

I had an interesting moment today at work. It turns out that it's not just friends/family that read my blog. Apparently there's a whole team of "IndiaIT" employees who are paid to read it! These people are the online team, and they check for new online content regarding "IndiaIT" on a daily basis. That means that every time I write an entry that includes a mention of "IndiaIT", someone accross the room from me reads it. (Hello, Sanjay!) Sanjay, the head of online, clued me in that I may want to be careful about how I bash my bosses and fellow employees in a public forum. Who knew?

Did I mention that "IndiaIT" is the greatest place in the world to work?
