Hi all
Back from our Tuesday/Wednesday marketing "overnighter" to Jalandhar, Amritsar and then Bathinda on the way back. Today we're here in the Chandiagarh offices to do some staff training in the morning (many are new and aren't familiar with the CIIS programs and how they work) and seminar this afternoon. The driver was our old friend Hardeep (he was here 10 years ago) - he's not nearly as herky-jerky and risk-taking as our driver Harpreet who is new and may not last unless he smoothes out his driving.
I never tire of the journey because there is so much to see that is different each time. I decided on this trip to assemble some photographs of the ladies in their colourful outfits. There are colour combinations that, on paper, sound unbelievably garish but 'in person' look wonderful. Probably the colours 'work' so well because the skin colours of many shades of brown with jet black hair set them off. In any case, I'll put them together in a separate note shortly. I suppose I'll have to assemble photographs of the many turban colours I see just to give the guys their due as well.
Of note, we could actually see the foothills of the Himalayas on Wednesday evening as we got back! Usually there is so much haze (dust in the air) that you wouldn't have any idea that there was a mountain range the size of the rockies starting about 35kms away. So, we revelled in the distant view and I took some pix - mountains never look as spectacular as they do in reality, however.
Had lunch in a place called HQ's - took a few menu pix to give you the idea of our choices. We all had sandwiches (I had the Egg Cheese Grilled sandwich). Sorry for the focus - blame the photographer. As for the "Tit Bittes," check the spelling before you print the menu. I was going to go for a Chocolate Turffal and the Rum Bolls looked tasty but, just too full for desert.
