Just moved in to my place today in GK1 (R block), and interestingly enough my 3rd roommate, who I have yet to meet, is also going to be working at Drishtee. Lauren's going to be working in the health vertical and I believe she's from Boston. The entire Drishtee office is 70 people here in Delhi and me and Lauren pick the same apartment in a city of 11 million people. What are the odds? Now I'll have someone to car pool with.
Met Nakul from Drishtee today as well. I am excited to start. Looks like I will be going to Mathura in a few weeks to participate in some field training.
Delhi is a lot more spread out than Bombay, with much better roads. Delhi is gearing up for the Commonwealth games in 2010 and the Governments on a major drive to spruce up the city.
Random Delhi facts -
* Delhi is 5000 years old but the city we see was built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It's earliest name was Indrapastha, capital of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata.
* The first war of independence started in 1857 in Delhi.
* Literacy rate is 81%, with 87% for males and 74% for women.
* There are 30,000 stray cows in the city.
