Lighter breakfast today - another omelet this time (obviously) with a few slabs of watermelon, washed down with 1/2 pint of sweet lime juice. mmm.
Rob delivered a mammoth session on his app this morning to the Delhi team - covered loads of ground, and everybody (not least me) found it very informative. It's actually quite a good way of clarifying issues, and sharing information. A bit like a de-focussed "Cup Of Tea" - that's a meeting style I pioneered on my app, where we sit around drinking a cup of tea, talking about a specific area of the app - no plans, just an expert or two to guide us through the topic. We think we should re-import the idea to the UK - get a handful of people for the prism dev teams and make them talk about stuff.
One on ones with Ankit and Abhishek followed - very useful indeed. Not quite what any of us felt like after the meeting, but really useful I think. We covered past work, current focus, operating procedure, future plans. All good stuff.
Busy afternoon. Feeling pretty tired now. Managed to book some flights to Dehra Dun for Saturday - we'll take in the sights of Haridwar, Rishikesh, and maybe Mussourie, then fly back to Delhi Sunday arvo. I'm back to London on Monday; Robs staying til Friday.
Dinner in the "Orient Express" at the Taj. What a restaurant - top notch cuisine served in a replica of an OE dining car. Fabulously expensive - but we're worth it! I had chicken consomme, pistachio-stuffed quail casserole, duo of lamb, and apple/frangipane tarte fine with icecream. And a watermelon sorbet between courses. Oh yeah, and they gave us new knapkins before the desserts - I think it was a colour coordination thing.
