Chennai 2010

Wow. What a change in just 2 years of absence.
So, after 2 years of not being in Chennai we decided to spend some holidays in the city, which we loved to live in for 3 years from 2005 - 2008. Now with all the good memories in our luggage and certainly all the bad ones somewhere lost in the past 2 years we were all geared up to enjoy a good 2 weeks of holidays with friends and former business partners.
I really took us as a surprise of how much the city has changed. New roads, fly overs, buildings, shops coming up at least in the happening places of the town such as on and around OMR.
Great to see as well, that all my former employees are better off, then they used to be, climbing steep on the career leathers and just being able to afford Western-standard lives with apartments, cars, great education for their kids and holidays abroad. Seems the economic crisis has not really hit at least the middle management in the Indian economy.

Delhi airport


One of my most favorite topics on infrastructure has always been airports. The new Delhi airport actually blew me away. What used to be comparable to a worse off London tube station has developed into a world-class airport with all facilities you need to have on the gateway into the country and the world.


We came back with great pride, that the country is just doing so amazingly and we have been able to contribute with a drop in the ocean a few years back and one thing is for sure: WE WILL BE BACK, because we really love the place!
