Yesterday, after sleeping in for once, we visited Deloitte US in India. They put a lot into the visit, devoting a lot of staff time to is and providing a mice catered lunch. Next we went to the National Association for the Blind. It was interesting, but difficult to hear on the tour with such a large group. We also didn't have much context, because we took the tour before hearing about what the organization does.
The day concluded with a "Parallel Strings" concert at Chowdiah, a venue shaped like a violin. The concert featured carnatic music, but withban unusual combination of veena, piano, and drums. The performers were amazing, but the pieces were long and ethereal...combined with a dark auditorium, it put some students right to sleep.
Now we are on our way to Mysore for the day. There were some interesting rock hills along the way, in an area with a lot of silk production. We just stopped at the rest area where last year I bought a wonderful carved penguin.
