Jake in the land of Joshi

Francois and I recently returned from our Indian adventure. We were enthusiastically received and pampered by the Joshi family in Pune, just south of Bombay. We tasted Swati's fine Maharashtra cooking, chatted with Vivek and his mother + and did some sight-seeing with the energetic wonderboy Shreyas. Nanda's 14 year-old nephew showed us some of Pune's cultural sights and amused us in a game of Badminton. He defeated Franois and I 21-15, but in the end we were very happy to spend our first few days on the subcontinent with the Joshis.

Pune was also a great place to gain insight into India's rapidly developing industry and IT sectors. We had an interesting tour of Vivek and Swati's factory and offices with their lovely niece Kalpita, who we will be happy to spoil when she comes to visit us in Paris.
