Photos of our office exterior: New Delhi




I love going to India. So much to see. Totally new experiences. But such a contrast - very rich immediately alongside very poor. Sometimes it's all a bit overwhelming -- a shock to all of the senses.

These pictures are of the approach into our offices in New Delhi (we're above where it says FMCC in the top picture). On the immediate pathway into the offices, one has to pass several shanty huts. By no means the poorest dwellings in India - but enough of a contrast to make you think.

Srirangapatnam, Karnataka, India






Took a quick trip down to Mysore and stopped off at Srirangapatnam along the way.

Stunning Island fortress where the Tipu Sultan was killed by the Duke of Wellington in 1799. Until last week, I had not realised the Duke was even in India, let alone sorting out an uprising.

Amazing how these Brits got around the Globe 200+ years ago.

Anyway, on the Island is the stuning temple of Vishnu Sri Ranganathasvami - reputedly 1200+ years old. Quite gorgeous and serene!
