Keeping an Eye on Technology Futures, No Hidden Agendas, New Attitudes, No Platitudes!
The Mumbai scenery has recently been made famous by the Academy Award nominated movie "Slumdog Millionaire". Several people asked, but sadly no, the lead actress Freida Pinto is not a relative.
My visit to Mumbai was about a week before the infamous terrorist attacks which dominated the news for several weeks during my visit. Happily, I was not directly affected, though security at airports was extra tight during my entire stay in India.
About 100 miles from Mumbai is Pune, one of India's major techno-centers. There I spoke to about 150 attendees at the opening of the new offices of Softdel, in Cyber City, transformed from an old farming village into the campus of high-tech leaders that rivals anything I've seen anywhere in the world.
Bangalore (now officially Bengaluru) was my hometown 50 years ago, now transferred into a traffic jammed, overcrowded city of more than 6 million, India's third most populous city.
After a great family visit (later musings in this eNews) I launched my bucket-list trip #3.
