Back in March, I went to India with some co-workers to visit the EA studio in Hyderabad. While this was definitely a get-down-to-business type of trip, I was extremely lucky to travel with people who like to go out and see stuff. What really made the trip amazing was how much our new friends ensured that we experienced some of the best parts of Hyderabad and Kerala.
Here are a few photos I captured. I really loved taking pictures of all the amazing colors and textures!
Hyderabad
Hyderabad was an incredibly populated city…I can’t even begin to describe it. I was so overwhelmed by everything going on that I really focused on details I could easily process. If I ever make it back, I’ll be sure to capture the craziness of the city…and food!

Fort Cochin
I REALLY loved Fort Cochin. If it weren’t for the lack of a Lindy Hop scene, I could easily live in this place. Here’s the thing that amazed me the most about Cochin: there were clearly Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Hindus all living in the same tiny city…and everyone appeared to get along. IT CAN BE DONE!

After going through my old photos, I’m glad I waited until now to post this – it was a thrill to relive some of the experiences!
