India Photos — and Globalization
A Chicago Boy who is working in Pune forwarded some slice-of-life photos. The photos are informative and amusing, and the work he’s doing is interesting because it’s on high-tech financial stuff that wasn’t being done in India a few years ago. Indian economic liberalization, combined with tech advances that are globalizing every activity that can be done over the Internet, now make India a land of opportunity for guys in Chicago. Who’d a thunk it?
UPDATE: I have edited this post slightly to make clear that I did not mean to suggest that the people in these photos are amusing to look at.
Holy Cow!
Some more beagle blogging
I had posted this image last week, so here are some of her younger half-sister.
Our dogs usually turn away from the camera when it looks to as if you point it at them. The best way to get some good shots is to hold it casually in your palm and point it in their general direction without being obvious about it. Most pictures are unusuable, but with a digital camera that doesn’t matter. I hadn’t caught her whole head in the lower picture but kept it anyway because I like the look on her face.
