Grace Tremayne  A visit to Bangalore, India
		I had the opportunity to visit Bangalore in India on business in January 2007. Not having visited India, or any other part of Asia for that matter, I looked forward to the trip with anticipation, tinged with concern. I should not have worried, because the experience turned out to be many more times more exiting and pleasurable than I had imagined. On the pages that follow are the day-by-day diary of the visit, including pictures of the trips that I took at the weekend. I hope you will enjoy the diary, which I can ensure you is a warts-and-all account, written at the end of each day to ensure that I captured my mood at the time, rather than with hindsight.
