place changes, work doesn't...

And we are back.

From a slightly different place. Instead of reporting from humid, hot, wavy, oceany, randomly constructed Andaman’s... ... these bits come from cold, chilly, mountainy, valley, illegally congestedly constructed shimla. and it is freezing!!!

No, we are not doing community training here. Am here for a very short while to record for two programmes on earthquake and disaster management.

It is super cold by my modest minimum 30 c mumbai upbringing. I am starting recording tomorrow. Hoping to catch a glimpse of people’s life here and come up with more subjects for further programming which can be done by simriti in seeds office here.


Needless to say this is the beginning of the end. In some sense. (am back in office by mid feb, have to finish EVERYTHING, before that) Or let’s put it this way. It is just the beginning of wrap up of one process so that better processes and more beautiful tomorrows can begin.

Hoping that the teams set up in Wandoor and my soldiers in port blair seeds are working towards it. Haven’t managed to check on them. Must do it soon, before they get into “out of sight, out of mind,” way of life… it’s amazing how there are equal number of proverbs for exactly opposites thoughts and feelings… like "distance makes heart grow fonder"… by that logic radio lighthouse in Andaman’s should kick-continue (like kick start, hee hee)..

Signing off with a frozen nose… sniff sniff...
