Chennai. It’s like Kettering, only more civilised

June 23rd, 2009

So I was packaged off to India for 2 weeks to test the new patient administration system we’ll be using next year. Business class we went, that was nice though I’m off the opinion that a 6 course meal on a plane is overkill.

Chennai was our destination, and it’s fair to say it’s pretty hot, 30+ in the morning, rising to 40 give or take a degree. Not so different to the Midlands, for every posh house there’s some slums in between. Most of the people don’t speak good English and the cars are heavily dented. It was just like being at home.

It was hard work though, long days, didn’t get to see much in the way of sunlight due to the 6pm sunsets and the aforementioned long working hours. What I did see, in my limited spare time, I would recommend to anyone. Just avoid the water.

Anyway, it was a productive trip and now i’m fully recovered from the jet lag normal business is resumed. Apart from the limited pictures I got to take, all I’m left to remind me of those fun two weeks is my slight tan and the weight I put on from drinking Kingfisher in a moderate quantity every night.

If I had the chance to return, I would gladly take it.

The meaning of life

June 29th, 2006

It’s amazing how much clarity a beer can bring.
I’ve decided that the meaning of life is this; you work hard trying to make your life a positive one, you do what you think is right, you work hard and you stay out of trouble. But then trouble finds you, and it’s unavoidable. It can come in all shapes and sizes, small or big people, cars or websites. So basically, whatever you do in life will be undone by the most trivial things. Rinse and repeat.
