Well, 8 weeks of water buffalo and chicken bone stew is over! Tomorrow is my last day here in Jamnager India. I have been working in the largest petro chem. plant in the world “Reliance” weld overlaying Coke Drums well, my guys were welding I just look it :-). The money was good but it’s time to go.

Lived in that country (Mumbai or formerly Bombay) for 50 years...............and now that I'm in NZ, I feel like I got a promotion from Hell to Heaven!!

That looks like Athens after a home football game!

Lots of goats, but no sheep?

Those pictures help put things in perspective.

Am I alone in not minding ever being in a place like that for a brief period in my life.

Puts things into perspective. Like how people on earth live their daily lives.

I've seen some poor countries and I never shy away from the experience. And ironically enough, those are the countries with the biggest opportunities for wealth. I know of a few people in my personal life that have amassed huge fortunes in countries such as Haiti and India.

JJ, do you know of a company called Tire Group International? They manufacture tires in India. Not sure what province, but the man employes hundreds in the town and is a love person while turning sales in the neighborhood of $70-$80 million. He treats his plant workers better than anyone would think. They feel blessed to work for this guy. He lives here in Miami.

No, Pep, never heard of it; but then I've been away from India for almost 15 years and many new companies would have mushroomed during that time.

Well I'm back for round 2; I will post the next batch in a few days. This run will only be 5 weeks. Oh, and I brought 200$ worth of food!!!

Cato · 10 November 2010, 03:40 PM

Those dudes sipping tea need to put down their glasses and pick up a broom.

But seriously, I'd love to see India one day: such a rich cultural history. I'll just take my meals at the Hilton, thank you.

On the bright side, there has recently been a round of massive upgrades to the electrical infrastructure to handle all the power demands that new technologies have placed on the grid:
