Arrival

Finally made it to Mumbai/Bombay. Was met at the airport by Kunaal, the Senior Manager for Prime Focus. Nice to be greeted by a welcoming face, feeling pretty daunted at the thought of getting to know Mumbai, Clients new work colleagues. Kunaal gave me the choice of going to hotel to rest or straight to the offices to meet a few faces. Considering my late arrival, that is being Monday and not the previous Friday and while still feeling relatively coherent thought I'd get straight down to business. My God the Traffic! Scared witless on the way to the office, gonna have to get used to that Next thing I know I'm sat in front of three Senior Management guys for Prime Focus India in the board room (Kunaal included), trying to be as keen as mustard as I soon discover the tiredness kicking in from the flight. They were all very pleasant and not in the slightest bit intimidating. I am actually excited at the challenge and Kunaal, Yohann & Aijaz are most hospitable and seem eager to impress the clients with someone from London.

After a bit more hellos, shaking of the hands and card exchanges (none by me i, don't have any) it's off back to my place of stay for the duration. A little boutique type hotel round the corner. It's a nice and clean and it will suit me, view isn't that impressive but, more importantly I've got HBO for a few films now and again. 

Struggling to stay wake in front of the telly and deciding wether to pluck up the courage to venture out on my first night in Mumbai for food, kunaal invites me out for food with Aizal. We head back towards the offices for a nice little italian, yes that's right, not my choice, a favourite of theirs I believe. I've got 6 weeks to fill my face with curry anyhow. wasn't bad either. Nice glass of wine and a chocolate cake for afters. Couldn't believe it. 

Now I'm ready to pass out for the next days tour of Prime Focus.
