My employer, Xchanging, sent me to India on a business trip for three weeks during June and July of 2006.
During the week, I was working at their Gurgaon office, which is to the south west of Delhi and just across the border into Haryana state. I stayed in the nearby Trident Hilton, where I was very well looked after.
During the two weekends while I was in India, I got the opportunity to do some sight-seeing and visited a number of places in the Delhi area. I also made the journey to Agra to see the Taj Mahal.
