Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore, Madras, Hyderabad-India

New Delhi

Visited Usha Group of Companies. The first leg of visit is New Delhi which sited their main office. Took the flight from KL via Bangkok using Thai Airlines since Malaysia airline does not have KL-New Delhi flight back in 1993. Had dinner with their chairman that night. 

Next day we flew to Bombay to visit one of the College there. Did not manage to get to see any of the Hindi filmstar here although India film industry is based in Bombay. 

Later we flew to Hyderabad where we visited their manufacturing office. Hyderabad in further south on a highland. 

Then, over to Bangalore, India Silicon Valley. We flew back to KL via Madras.

In another occasion, I had a second visit to India where we stayed in Calcutta for one month attending a short course. We were housed in Usha resident apartment. We cooked our own food throughout the month long stay.

In a rare occasion, the night we arrived was Diwali or Deepavali celebration. Over here, they fire, fire crackers from mignight until early dawn to celebrate Divali. In the first week, everyone of us were down with diarhoe. A lady participant had to be warded due to its seriousness. Since we had consumed the local bacteria, we had build the antibodies then. Our stomach is able to consume local food without any further problem right after that. During the one month stay, we shopped and eat. Bought a lot of sarees and Hindi CD movies and songs.
