OK, it's been another mad few weeks. There's lots going on that will be posted later, once things are further forward. All good fun!
On top of that, I am now in India to visit my colleagues in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. There are a lot of old voices that I'm going to put faces to in Bangalore, but several of them have moved on and I don't have contact details for them (you). If you happen to be reading this, please leave a comment or else contact me directly.
Recommendations of things to do are very welcome, too, although from what I read in the guidebook, I could spend a few months just wandering around one small part of southern India!

check out the NASA bar in Bangalore, it's decked out all spacey. Madurai and Trichy are worth a look for the amazing temples if you have time to visit. Madurai also has a space bar - Apollo. Hampi is cool and you could maybe go there between Bangalore and Hyderabad if you have time. It's a weird boulder landscape with temples like the Flintstones meets Indiana Jones Temple of Doom. Goa and Kerala are great too and then there's the hill stations Ooty and Kodaikanal. You can get online on the road cheap with Airtel GPRS too if you need to.
Justin, thanks for all your suggestions! This visit is just for business and I need to be back for a wedding, or else Hazel would have come over and we'd have done some touring for a few weeks.
Next time I visit should be for holiday and I'll keep your suggestions in mind.
