Tomorrow, we are heading to Agra, to spend my birthday on May 13th (and a rescheduled anniversary) overlooking the incredible Taj Mahal. Cathy has planned an incredible day for us - starting at 5:30 with a ride to Agra and then an exploration of the Taj. We will be having dinner overlooking the Taj Mahal and then do a sunrise walk to the incredible site. What a cool way to celebrate my 59th Bday and our 14th Anniversary.
Delhi
is experiencing a reduction in pollution as a result of the mandatory use of natural gas on public transport vehicles, including buses, taxis and "auto" motorized rickshaws. The traffic in Delhi includes a constant musical set of horns - as these vehicles and cars/trucks weave, duck and "kiss" each other in a most unusual traffic pattern. It will interesting to see what happens when the TATA $2,000 car is introduced later this year. There are over 200,000 reservations for the first batch of $100,000 cars.
A visit to McDonalds was fasincating in a country that does not eat beef. Here is a picture of the Tikka Burger, which was made from Spicy Potatoes. It was interesting to see other variations of the McD's menu - including much spicier alternatives to ketchup. Impressive was the "recycle" bin for all packets not used.
We had a great afternoon at Accenture, meeting with their Learning Development Team - a widely talented group of instructional designers, graphic experts, implementation managers and other learning professionals. Working with their counterparts in Accenture offices in Texas and Illinois, they are producing a wide range of learning projects for Fortune 500 companies around the world. Once again, I was impressed with the depth of interest in next generation models of learning and development.
