It begins!

Today was the first official day of ThoughtWorks University - Monsoon Session. We all had breakfast together at the TWI (ThoughtWorks India) office, followed by an ice-breaker, a tour of the Diamond District, lunch at IndiJoes (Indianized versions of Western food), an administrative session to get our local cell phones, and dinner at the Park Plaza Hotel.

Whew! What a day!

Then a group of freshers from the US and UK went with Andy (one of the people who interviewed me in Chicago, actually) to a local dive bar for some drinks. The power in the bar was out (power outages are a frequent occurrence here, annoyingly enough), but they set us up with some candles on the top floor (no windows or walls) and we ended up having a great time.
