Today is my first day off since my internship began. It’s very exciting how self-directed my work
here is going to be. As of yesterday, my
projects on the health team will include Doctors at School and eye screening in
the government schools. My work in these
projects seems to be heavily organizational.
I have a lot of ideas for how I can streamline and work these programs.
In addition to field work on the health team, I have been assigned
documentation work with Nele. I feel
confident that I will be kept very busy during my stay here.
I am a little concerned about my internet connectivity. Having checked my email only once, I have
learning that Aging in a Cross-Cultural Perspective has been cancelled as Prof.
Lamb is going on medical leave in the fall.
I hope I can find something else appropriate to actually graduate.
Ashwat left last night to visit Tirupati. I understand that he’s going there because of
his new job. Apparently this temple is
surpassed in richness and corruption by the Vatican only. It’s a six hour drive to the location from
Bangalore and requires nearly 24 hours of waiting, travelling, etc… just for
some 20 seconds in front of the god.
A few classmates of Aravind’s came over yesterday. They seemed like very intelligent girls. Auntie said that both were engineering
students. One, in fact, was going to
Chicago for two months of study.
Some things to remember:
Brahmins & garlic
Narsimha & doorways
Holy basil outside your window
Tulasi (Holy Basil) outside my window
The doorway at Tyagaraj Nagar
