Amardeep went to work and I stayed back to pack. In order to take home the large framed plate that I was given as a gift from the conference, I had to pack everything into my red bag and put my back pack with my computer into my smaller roller bag. I carried the picture in the conference bag. Sant Lal picked me up and we went to the Mall in Saket because I wanted to try an India McDonald’s. I had the spicy paneer sandwich (without lettuce or tomato which comes with), fries and a coke. The paneer was good but the bun and cheese were pretty bad. Back at Amardeep’s office I recorded a video for CEOHP and took some pictures. Then we headed to IIITD for Amardeep to give a lecture on the First Day of teaching a class to Pankaj's class. While we were in his office we found out that we were featured panelists at a women in engineering panel after the class. We also went to a reception for PK’s program Precog (privacy and security of social networking). Busy day! Then we headed to the fancy shopping center by the Grand for dinner at SetZ with Mangala Gowri and Laura Haas. It was an interesting place with some 7 different cuisines each with its own set of chefs. I had pasta, Laura and Mangala had Thai and Amardeep had risotto. The bathrooms had fancy Japanese style toilets with heated seats. Amardeep left me off at the hotel with Laura and I went to her room. There was a very fancy wedding going on so we went down to watch the groom arrive and see all the gorgeous dresses on the women guests. There was a lot of confusion about the ride to the airport, so we went down to the lobby and waited with Radia Perlman.
