When I am travelling, I love to learn about the people even more than the places. India is one of the most fascinating places I have ever visited. The culture is a tapestry woven between the old traditions and modern influences. It is a dichotomy between the ancient world and the new one. There is no doubt that the software engineers, both men and women, are some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. There is a strong contrast between them and those who wash their laundry in the streams, sort rice by hand, carry well-water on their heads, and drive wagons hauled by oxen, camels or elephants. I was so fortunate to visit the homes of the people I worked with, and interact with the people who worked in the fields. Most of my very modern software friends had arranged marriages and some had not met their wives or husbands until shortly before the wedding. They seemed extremely happy. I was surprised to find this happening in modern India and realized that this worked for them. The women in the US generally wear Western clothes, in India they still dress in sarees and salwar kameez. I loved participating in the celebrations like Diwali, Holi, and Onam. My time in India is one of the greatest travel memories of all time.
