Arrived in Mumbai (Bombay) last night and in Kolkata (Calcutta) today for a consulting job. 15 hours from Newark NJ to Mumbai in the cheap seats. I'll post some photos soon.

Big storm yesterday that cooled things off a bit here.

We got out to tour today. Victoria Memorial, the Howrah Bridge, and Mother Teresa's convent. Things go from luxurious to decrepit within a city block. Here's a representative picture - a woman out shopping in a $2000 sari, crossing in front of a group of buildings that are probably not worth as much as her outfit.

Here's a tired looking guy moving 10 bags of something heavy on the back of his tricycle. Too heavy to pedal so he has to get off and push.
