Anand received an early wake up call this morning from the front desk. Apparently, the same person who was arranging my transportation must have been assigned to Anand. A car had been sent ridiculously early in the morning to take him to work. Since he’s not due to arrive at work for another 6 hours – he’s sent the driver away. We’ve agreed to share the car/driver assigned to me to keep costs down. Also, it only makes sense to share, since we’re working the same shift, staying in the same hotel, and likely to be running around the city playing tourist together.

Lucky Anand, he’ll have a smaller expense report to file at the end of his journey, since the car receipts are all in my name!

I decided to surprise everyone and wear the Kurta pajama outfit I purchased at Fabindia to work today. I’ve received a number of rave reviews on the new wardrobe and I must say the clothing is very comfortable compared to many of the things in my closet back home.

Before work today, I headed off to Mysore Saree to pick up my new clothes. On Friday, I’ll be headed off to the tailor to pick up the blouses. The girls have suggested I practice getting dressed in my free time for the next few days – so that everything goes smoothly on Friday.

I haven’t been very successful at playing tourist in the mornings. For the last few days, I’ve been arriving at work for 2pm and by the time I get back to the hotel and head off to sleep, it’s already 3 or 4 in the morning. Getting up before 10 am is a huge struggle, but I’m sure I’ll get used to the schedule soon.
