I worked through the night yesterday, went to sleep at 3 am, backup at 7. But LOADS of stuff got done. I've filled up nearly 2 days of meeting slots, and already have atleast 3 meetings - EACH of which will be separately worth this trip. Another day or two like this, i'l be done.

I'l be leaving a day early - so we have a day to spare in Madrid - and by some conspiracy cooked up between my travel agent & Jet airways - will return one day late, via, get this, Barcelona.

I havent made up my mind - as to whether i should crib or feel elated.

But all signs point to a great next week - and Diwali will be spent (depending on when diwali is) either roaming the streets of Barcelona or hanging about in Brussels.
