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\u2019s not due to arrive at work for another 6 hours \u2013 he\u2019s sent the driver away. We\u2019ve agreed to share the car\/driver assigned to me to keep costs down. Also, it only makes sense to share, since we\u2019re working the same shift, staying in the same hotel, and likely to be running around the city playing tourist together. <\/p>\n
Lucky Anand, he\u2019ll have a smaller expense report to file at the end of his journey, since the car receipts are all in my name! <\/p>\n
I decided to surprise everyone and wear the Kurta pajama outfit I purchased at Fabindia to work today. I\u2019ve 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. <\/p>\n
Before work today, I headed off to Mysore Saree to pick up my new clothes. On Friday, I\u2019ll 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 \u2013 so that everything goes smoothly on Friday. <\/p>\n
I haven\u2019t been very successful at playing tourist in the mornings. For the last few days, I\u2019ve been arriving at work for 2pm and by the time I get back to the hotel and head off to sleep, it\u2019s already 3 or 4 in the morning. Getting up before 10 am is a huge struggle, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get used to the schedule soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
