Today is my 11-year anniversary at IBM. Today, calling into the U.S. team meeting, I learn that not only is one of my colleagues celebrating 25 years at IBM, another celebrates 39 and another, 35. I don't mention my relatively small milestone.
Today is a good day. Today, I help plan a leadership development event and also meet the executive sponsor of the GLBT constituency at IBM India. He is wearing a turban and is Sikh, presumably. I meet him in the context of the earlier planning and he invites me to talk with him specifically on our respective perspectives on GLBT issues in India. That meeting should happen later this week.
Eleven years ago, I try to find GLBT colleagues and supporters in our Somers, NY site. Today, I'm doing the same in Bangalore, India. My first day, who could have guessed what the future would bring.
Wonder what it was like during their first day for my three colleagues whose tenures are 25, 39 and 35 years. Wonder how long I'll work for IBM.

Chaiyya Chaiyya -- the movie ("Dil Se") was strange, even by Bollywood standards -- but Chaiyya Chaiyya was worth the price of admission! I have the soundtrack, and that is one of the very few songs in my collection which makes my feet dance, no matter what else I'm supposed to be doing!
I agree that it's a great song. Also, "Chak de India" sticks with me during the day...and "Party Like a Rock Star" and "I'm Not Going to Rehab" from Radio Indigo.
