My three country, one week journey is now complete. I´m now writing from a small Internet Cafe in Mexico City. The transition has been quick and a little chaotic. Spending three days in London, one in Charlotte and then arriving in Mexico Sunday afternoon. I started Spanish classes yesterday and all is well. It´s amazing […]
Back Home
My flight back to the UK went pretty well. I spent 45 minutes waiting to get into Bangalore Airport (3 am), but after that it was smooth. Our new apartment is really nice. And, oh yeah, quiet. No snoring, loud devil children or running water in the middle of the night. The timer is already […]
Sad Departure
I’ve never liked goodbyes, frankly who does? Sometimes they are relatively easy (last job) and other times pretty difficult. It didn’t occur to me how much I really enjoyed my time here until it is almost over. The day is clipping by pretty quickly and things are being left undone. It’s not the tasks but […]
Top of the Mountain
I did everything I could to watch this game, but the broadband connect let me down. No worries, 42-10 WVU hammers marshall (no I didn’t make a mistake in capitalization). Now the marshall students can resume preparing to deliver those pizzas. Better luck next time, when we’ll throttle you in Huntington. Sunday Gazette-Mail – Sports […]
Done and Dusted
The presentation seems to have went well. No one threw tomatoes, which is good. A final debrief with my project mentor at 2pm and then the hand over process starts. Woohoo! Ituloy AngSulong SEO News

It’s at dinner the plot of the novel thickens. Interns normally mosely down to dinner around 7.30pm to 8.00pm. Before, one never had to […]

The Road to Becoming a Curmudgeon
I can hear the interviewer clearly in 2050 (in my head) Interviewer: “So Mr Martine when did you realise you were starting to become out of touch with the younger generation?” Me: “August 25, 2006, Chip. See that’s the day when my science education was deemed incorrect and Pluto lost its planet status. It started […]
Dinner at Ruby Tuesdays
Dinner at Ruby Tuesdays Originally uploaded by Sujata Thomas. Wanted to post a pretty good picture of Sujata and I at the Bangalore Ruby Tuesdays. We ate there to see if it was the same as home. The look, menus and service was similar but sadly the food wasn’t. Sure, it looked the same but […]
The Beginning of the End
I don’t want to get too philosophical here, but the current happenings in my internship have me thinking about the cycle of life, projects, internships and the MBA. Frankly, any experience seems to fit this basic framework: 1) Excitement and nervousness for the upcoming activities Be it preparing to go to undergraduate, the first day […]
