I am uplifted!
First time I've been in a lift in which my ears pop due to the speed of descent. Feels like I'm landing in an aircraft. Interesting lifts these workplaces have :D.

May the force be with you
Star Wars. EP-3. Revenge of the Sith.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement.
For one, the effects are breathtaking and they have an immersive computer game feel with splendid level of detail.
It’s also probably the best of the three prequels and does justice to the original series. For Star Wars aficionados like me, its certainly nostalgic. Particularly the ending; the arrival of luke and leia, the Darth Vader breath, the final scene showing the setting of two Suns, the sets in latter half resembling the original series. I'm surely going to miss the ending of saga - probably the best known movie science fiction series ever made.
The theatres should run the original series as well… it'll certainly help build the momentum - I'd certainly love to watch the original series again after seeing EP3.

Positions 2005
people having access to Gartner should have a look at Gartner's Positions on the 5 Hottest IT Topics and Trends in 2005. One particlar part about Global Sourcing is pretty interesting. Focussing almost completely on India, it predicts with an 80% probability that by 2010, 30 percent of professional IT jobs will shift to emerging markets and that India is likely to maintain its current lead in global sourcing of IT.

Mumbai
Mumbai is overwhelming... ppl seem to be walking fast all the time towards some imaginary goal, i guess its the best city to get lost in.
Marine drive is awesome, particularly at night. The sunset is noteworthy for its beauty.
Have seen more mercs here than i've ever seen in my life before. Saw two porches. Ppl get into pseude cars from the club and drive just to cross over to their home on the other side of the street. Cost of living is sky high.
One of the most impressive things about Accenture is the use of IT, the systems are state of the art and ppl really tech-savvy.
Been playing with Infopath 2003, seems like a really useful tool, second only to OneNote2003.
