Just got back to NJ after a wonderful trip to London, Frankfurt and Munich. Realized a long time dream of starting an office in London. Feels good. Feels .. AHA (-:
I can not help getting awed by how in Europe business talks take anywhere between 2% to 5% of total meeting time. Its all about relationships.
Despite the on-going economy horror stories, I could not see signs as prominent as I could in US. Maybe, I was there for a very short period of time.. too short to notice any major impact. Swine flu, though, had generated significant scare. People with masks were everywhere.
London on a bright and sunny day can be amazing. To top it all, I was lucky to get an accomodation in Novotel, Paddington. Delightful hotel and exceptional service. This was the first time ever that I was so happy staying in a hotel anywhere in the world that I left a thank you note for Novotel's hotel manager, Nicolas Lazarou.
Also, tried to "get a hang of" the underground(tube) network in London. I think I am fairly familiar already.
Can't help feeling nostalgic and proud.
Indeed, the sweetest thing about entrepreneurship is - "you are only restricted by your ambitions and vision". I am fortunate to be able to work with people from so many diverse cultures. American, English, German, Korean, Dane, Croatian and of course Indian. This undoubtedly has been one of the biggest gains for me from my entrepreneurial journey.
