National holiday

I've been working recently with a team in Pune. I'm learning lots.

For example, today the team has the day off since it's a national holiday in India. I asked the UK-based co-ordinator what the event was. "Independence Day," he said, the corner of his mouth turning upwards briefly with the hint of a smile.

Well fair enough. It's a good thing to celebrate.

I'm left wondering about dependence, independence and co-dependence. I'm happy working with off-shore teams so long as it's to everyone's equal benefit. What I haven't quite figured out just now is whether or not that's the case.
