Sleepless in Bombay
I've officially been in India for over a month now...time is flying by!
Bombay is a city that starts its mornings late and never sleeps. It used to difficult for me to find energy to cook dinner by the time I got home at the end of a long day. Now, I am singing a different tune. After work I am ready to hit the town! It has been . . .
Laughter
Have you ever been to a comedy show where half of the stand-up was in another language? It's a true test of your sense of humor!
Last Friday after work a few Nielsen colleagues and I piled into a cab and headed to my first Indian comedy show. The show started at 8:30 and was around two hours from the office. One of my new . . .

I'm here!
After 30 hours of travel I made it safely to Mumbai late last night. The strangest part of my entire journey had to be my Uber driver in Los Angeles. He did not say a word to me the entire drive despite me crying in the back seat. Certainly awkward to say the least, but made me laugh even though I was sad to say goodbye to Patrick.
