Today we had two great events. The first was going to the Indo Asian Academy where we had a last fellowship exchange with students and faculty. Their hospitality has been so gracious. Each day they provided a buffet of traditional Indian food but each day it was different choices.
After lunch we went to Perot Systems. Their welcome was the best yet. At the door they had a lantern that is lit by 5 people - I think it was called a Light of Knowledge. Dr. Harris, Jackie Harris and I all lit the lamp along with a student and a person from Perot Systems. There are 5 slots to light the lantern. Then they presented flowers to the faculty - 2 dozen long stemmed roses each. It was really amazing. We had a presentation on Perot Systems including a very good presentation on HR in India. They also served High Tea which in this case included heavy appetizers.
In the evening we went shopping to the place where the locals shop. I am glad I brought along fairly empty suitcases. We ate dinner at a place called The Only Place - it was basically American Cuisine. We got back to the room around 11 pm which was late considering we had to get to pack and be ready for a bus tour of Bangalore Friday morning at 8:30.
