amsterdam india festival

for two weeks there was a festival in Amsterdam that evolved around India. Part of this festival was the Netherlands India Business Meet where I went to. Many people from the finance world and all a bit too superficial and fast for me. I absorbed all the things I heard and was quite passive in approaching people. Had a chat with someone in the boatride over the canals to the concertgebouw. Met a crazy Dutch Indian guy working at the Dutch airline and had quite an interesting conversation with him. I learned how to make paneer, will try that in a few weeks when I am back at home. Although I had expected more from it, it was good I went and to experience an event like this. TH next day I went to the corporate office to talk to someone about the possibilities of going to the Dutch embassy in India, that was far more fruitful.
