Mobile Worker in Kerala for Wedding

Just arrived this morning in the beautiful city of Cochin at the Arabian Sea in Kerala with the morning flight from Bangalore. I am also staging my mobile lifestyle the next level. Actually, I came here to attend a wedding of Deepak, a beloved former staff member of mine who is getting married today. So I immediately agreed to come over, on the other hand had to balance my work.

So I took my notebook with me which runs a PCMCI-card from the telco “Reliance” and hooks up to the internet reasonably fast. Also, I booked a hotel (AC, Cochin is very hot) for Rs. 1,200/- for a daystay so that I can actually work as if I was in my office. In between I’ll change from my always casual shorts and T-shirt to something more representable, walk 3 min over to the TDM Hall for the ceremony and be back in time to have a con-call in the hotel - presumably in my shorts again :-) So far the plan, hope to capture some cool pictures from the wedding today and post them here.

    Oh great! I would love to see photos from Indian weddings. How lovely!

    Enjoy the food too. I am so jealous.

    Can you please invite me when you get married? I LOVE weddings. I promise to wear my Sunday best.

    p.s Is indian rupees 1,200 a lot of money for an AC room?

    Hi Nina, sure, the pictures are online now.

    Rs. 1,200/- is around EUR 23.-, I guess this was affordable. You know me: I’m a common guy, so luxury and fancy stuff are not my cup of tea …

    Oh rené a.k.a Mr Bond jetset…Please save me from my tears…

    Come on, I know you are just trying to play our love for luxury down;-) Pull the wools over my eyes…:-)

    €23 in India (in my imagination) is shitloads of money. I bet you stayed in a place with very good AC unit and not some dingy YMCA right? (you posh:-))
