Ex-IBM Employees Can Rebuild Karma In India
Computing giant IBM is poised to cut about 5,000 jobs in North America according to company memo leaks. But internal sources claim the jobs aren't really being cut -- just shifted to India in a continuing effort to slice costs, although the company won't publicly confirm that strategy. We suggest IBM employees facing a "reduction in force" respond by invading India. Just kidding! Maybe just a visit:
Blue City -- Country Walkers' tour of Rajasthan, the northwestern state where Jaipur is located, features tours of cities like Jodhpur which is in fact known as the Blue City. (Jaipur is the Pink City -- fair's fair!)
Bharatanatyam -- Continental flies to many major cities in India, perhaps even carrying the trainers for IBM"s next brain trust. And where better to get your first taste of Indian classical dance than Chennai, a cultural capital and the home of 2009 Best Song and Best Score winner A.R. Rahman.
Barefooted -- You might have to travel through Britain to get the best deal, but we've always been fascinated by Indians' favorite beach vacation spot on the west coast.

2008 Emmys Travel: Fey's Funny, "Race" Wins Again
What, no beehive and glasses? Fresh off her turn as Sarah Palin on "SNL," Tina Fey walks the red carpet before the Emmy Awards ceremony last night in Los Angeles. Fey's series "30 Rock" walked away with best comedy and she and costar Alec Baldwin took home statues for best lead actress and actor, respectively.
Other big winners of the night: "John Adams" (Best Miniseries), which takes place in Revolutionary-era New England, and the New York-set "Mad Men" (Best Drama) for its portrait of the '60s. And Jaunted obsession "The Amazing Race" scooped up its sixth consecutive reality-competition prize.
Biggest losers: All the television shows whose themes Josh Groban mangled, medley-style.
