back to civilisation

have to visit far flung villages now, no mobile network, bad food and smelly water, one ngo campus, snakes and moquitoes, (yeah had a yellow snake crossing my path with a fish in its mouth, but also a million stars and hundresds of fireflies like a crazy beautiful disco - land so flat that it stretched into green fields till earth curved away, silly geese... its a weird disconnected feeling - being in these villages, its so alien a lifestyle yet its right outside out big urban bubbles... anyhow, feels nice to be back! keys to punch into and hustle bustle, taxis and metro, nobody gawking at your non rural wear, i belong...

and sometimes i don't.. when nobody is polite and you are in ajam for hours, when taxis rush stranded guys by, there is something about urban anonymity thats just unhealthy, not to mention pollution, crowds and distances...

but am looking forward to everything- and PUJO!! the celebrations start soonm and have managed to make a quick fried to help with pandal hopping...

have photos, but not easy to load with unequipped cheap cyber cafes...

p.s. william is such a swwetheart!!

...slowly unpacking and growing roots...
