Once again, C-Cube Microsystems gave me an opportunity to travel on business to a foriegn country. This time it would be a trip to Bangalore, India. I was able to work with a fantastic group of engineers from MindTree. During the 4 days with the MindTree, we not worked, but discussed the culture and way of life in India. I learned so many new and interesting things, I couldn't wait to put these pages together. In fact there was so much, it has taken me over a month to tie all the pieces together.

I really want to thank Vijendra Kuroodi, my colleague at C-Cube, who traveled with me to India, for not only helping me understand much of what I was seeing and learning, but also for sharing his world with me. You see, Vijendra use to live in Bangalore before coming to the USA. In fact, I even got to spend a wonderful evening with his in-laws.

I also want to thank Sudha and Bhanu for helping to find these beautiful traditional style outfits for my girls, Samantha and Kristina.

Just a warning. All the pictures are larger than normal so expect longer than normal download times.
