Make it less boring

I quite like going to the gym, but tend to get a bit bored after thirty minutes or so. Thumbs up to the gym here (ITC Maratha) for iPod connectors in some of their machines, even if I did sweat a bit on my nice noise reducing headphones.

Thirty minutes on the cross-trainer's pretty dull, but an hour flies by watching Shark.

In case you're wondering, Shark immediately knew the suspect was guilty, tried to drop the case as it didn't look like he could win, took it back up at the last moment, harangued his team but pushed them to reach new levels of legal excellence, revealed a secret from his past, nearly lost the trial, pulled a rabbit out of the hat right at the critical moment, won the case and bonded a little more with his teenage daughter, all in roughly 45 minutes.

Chai in Mumbai

The usual round of travelling has begun again after my summer break.

I've just arrived in Mumbai after a speedy three hour hop over from Dubai. So far it's rather like Dubai - lots of people from India! Very nice hotel indeed, lots of greenery outside.

India's not part of the region I officially cover, but I was offered the chance to assist with a project here and got permission from my manager to come over. I'm hoping I'll get the chance to drive around Mumbai a bit and grab some photos. I'm particularly looking forward to meeting the Sun team and hearing about the kind of business that Sun do in this part of the world.

Next Sunday I'll be in Lahore for a day and then in Islamabad, meeting customers with one of our local Sun partners.
