An alternate choice of venue is Moss, the cocktail lounge run by fellow
silkster Madhu. I loved Shiok, but never frequented it due to the distance
from where I stayed earlier in Bangalore.

I'm guessing Fri or Sat dinner? I'm off Friday.

Is it just me or $2,400 is a bit too much ?

I think they assume companies will pay it, and, at least in the US, they are
inured to such figures. But yeah, I think it's too much. I think they only
want people who don't think that. Remember: conferences are businesses. They
make money.

H... are they trying to fill their debut session in India with 10 people
in the audience then? LOL
Okay, okay... 12 people?

Anyway, given whatever equity they have, I don't understand the tendency of
brands coming into a market like India and making the same mistakes, say, a
Tommy did when they came in for example (not that I am too fond of the Tommy
brand, but TED, I like!:) )

PPP is essential to these recessionary times. AIG, Merrill Lynch, Bank

Wow! Now there's an acronym gone rogue!

I was thinking purchasing power parity. However, I've realized that if
you're living in Bangalore, PPP really doesn't apply except for rent
(groceries don't apply for bachelor me).

I've had a comparable or higher quality meal in Seattle (excluding wine and
tip) for about the same price as a 3 course meal at say Sunny's.
