5 minute drive to Delhi office. Looks just like London
Chat with Shailesh re potential DB recruit for Delhi. Seems reasonable to me - there must be enough db work to justify it, plus there's helping out with the build, and perf tuning coming out here.

Long meeting with Mittlesh covering operational aspects of developing, like why we do it like this and what could be better. We got the following actions

1. Prod support - all time must be logged in jira. We need to make detailed reports visible to the business - otherwise, they'll assume our time is only spent on dev.
2. Post this project, all bugs to entered as separate issues in JIRA (but linked to the main one, if there is one) - not as subtask (current process). Otherwise, high level project status is inaccurate.
3. London team prioritise Delhi issues/comms for first half of the day. Otherwise, time difference will delay projects.
4. Expose Prod Issues effort on wiki - should encourage jira work logging too.
5. Email prod issues (and maybe issue effort) to interested parties weekly.

Lunch in the canteen, supplemented by Monika's home-made chapatis - ace.

Fantastic view from the rooftop area, looking over the construction site for the Delhi Metro extension. Huge football-pitch sized pits of sand/cement, armies of cement mixer lorries, continuous pouring into casts to create the cross-section pieces to be assembled onto the end of the line, about 300 yards away.

Afternoon spent on London issues and wiki reporting.

Dinner at Park Plaza hotel (right next door to our hotel - The Palms, which is about 600 yards from Delhi offices). Rather lacklustre (imho - think Charles liked it) Indian non-veg buffet. I suspect the Great Kebab Factory (also in Park Plaza) might have been tastier. At least I haven't got, y'know, sick yet...
