In Mysore at the Metropole Hotel

February 20th, 2006

Where we used to buy sausages on Sundays. One of the original meat shops in Bangalore.

Making a phone call – these low cost phone booths revolutionized telecommunications in India over a decade ago. They can be found even in the most rural corners of the country.

At our favorite cafe – Barista – on St. Mark’s Road.


He is a well known attorney in Bangalore. There is a lot of paper in his office.

Hanging out with us at midnight. We are bar hopping, pharm
and just stopped briefly at 20 Rest House Crescent so Sam could pick up his car.


Mummy, refractionist

In an auto

February 20th, 2006

An oasis for business moguls and wealthy families in the heart of the city on Mahatma Gandhi Road. $350 (US) would get you the broom closet. A joke in Silicon Valley for the past few years has been that office space is cheaper in San Jose than in Bangalore.


The cheapest way to get around the city. For less than a dollar you can inhale lots of exhaust fumes, denture
weave in and out of traffic precariously close to death, diagnosis
but see the city first hand. By the 3rd or 4th time Blake was pushing back on the crafty rickshaw drivers trying to gouge us…and winning.
