One of the BPO vendors I work with in Pune, work to UK holidays, not Indian
ones. However, I was struck with the way that the management made 'noises
in our ears' to allow staff time off during Diwali (against our contract)
but made no special provision for Ramzan.
I flew

were fantastic from inside the terminal right through to the cabin crew on the
aircraft. You get a nice little pack from them and it seemed to be like BA

Hi,
had to go to Ruby hall in Pune in May when I broke my ribs... very sore.
Recipe for such;
- begin with one beer filled Keith
- mix with non - tobacco smoke agents
- add lots of boyish bravado

description)

Hi All,
Home is in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have spent most of this year in Pune,
India with frequent trips to Mumbai. I returned on 28th July and am going
back out 21st August for the rest of the year.
