"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" ~ Guy de Maupassant ~

Sachi and Lee LeFever spent a couple of days in Mumbai on their world tour. It was fun spending time with them - I felt like I was on holiday myself :). We didn't do many 'touristy' things - chatted a lot about India, Mumbai, lifestyles and people, about Web 2.0 and how excited we are about social media and building online communities. We ate, drank, ate again, went all over the city - saw many sides of Bombay, even attended a panel discussion at Crosswords on New Media!

Sachi and Lee really wanted to experience what it means when people say Bombay is bursting at its seams, so I took them to Dadar station at 6 pm on a working day - Lee says it was the highlight of his trip. Check out what he saw here. And this is neat too - looking in on their dog who's back in Seattle through a webcam set up with Skype!

They're blogging their trip around the world - and have lots of great posts and photos there. I like the set up at The World is Not Flat - Lee tells me he designed it on Drupal and it has some neat features. And they have have visiting cards that simply have the logo of the blog - no names, no address, no email id, no tel numbers. Nice!
