After 2 weeks I finally have internet at home again - one of the frustrations of living in India is inconsistent connection. They call my connection high speed - but it is just dial up and definitely NOT high speed. O well, I will take what I can get - this is one of the downsides of living in a village rather than in a big city like Pune.
I am adjusting to a very different life style here - have finally got most of the stuff I need - am getting some cabinets built - once they are in I will be settled - of course there are no pictures on the walls or other decorative stuff - just the basics of living.
Well, when it rains here we often don't have power - in fact the last few days we were without power - so that means no work - at least not at the office. I came home yesterday soon after getting to work and again today - but fortunately today I had power at home so was able to work from home. It seems like we are having lots of rain already but I have been assured that this is nothing yet - just wait till we don't see the sun for a month - then I will know what real monsoons are.
Was in Pune last weekend for a farewell for Sandra - she was in the first IPHC (in 1999) I led and has been in Pune since working in slum communities with HIV/AIDS people. She is looking forward to moving back to Switzerland - . Driving here is quite hazardous - I get pretty tired after driving to Pune and back. Now with the rains it will be even more treacherous. I am grateful for my car though - with the rains etc - it is a real blessing.
The large hall that is under construction at the base is moving along - slowly - thankfully the rains haven't fully started yet - giving the builders a little more time to complete the roof at least. Then they can work on the inside during the monsoons. The UofN Workshop will be held here first weekend in Sept - so the building needs to be at least mostly completed by then. The challenge is on!!!
