get the wor (l) d

Hi, what you expected! I'm busy, even when good things to work equitably the day, so I'm not really the last week came to write about how it's happened to me. It is so much happening, but always have something new gabs. And actually I also do not have time, is already almost midnight and I will actually do still ne project for wireless internet access in rural areas. But that just happens tomorrow morning. First satisfy the inquisitive travelogue readers.

So, a short overview, last week I celebrate first with Dinesh with his sister in Tumkur, about 40km outside Bangalore to take the family the birthday of Ganesha. Dinesh's sister - a genuinely nice person - is an entrepreneur, and according to the terrain there was thick and the solemnity. Many people make all kinds of family members. Ganesh's birthday is comparable to Christmas with us. Much to eat, instead of Christmas ne Ganesh temple area and family here, family there.

Well, the latter probably a bit more than we do. A total of about 50 new people, about 10 new gods and all sorts of other exciting met. For example, the first Cobra fed, so eat something, and so placed on a sand hill. Busy while ringing bell ne. After that, they made at other temples in the garden just precious, too busy eating distributed there. And then you go off to Ganesha, who - of course, is yes, an elephant - not even little grade gets. What the gods have not eaten after a while, is distributed among those present, hmmm.

Well, after much serious rituals again soon to take a trip into the surrounding mountains, and then wars but also from time to Pondicherry. Super Sleeper coach with NEM-bus, can you fall asleep looking at out the window and watch the world go by Indian. Pondicherry, super, French, green. And sunny. And I was there, 6 o'clock in the morning. Gähhhn. Well, unfortunately Could Hugo come not know, his mother became ill, so I've got two days alone the calming influence of India, if one may call it, enjoyed it. Gabs free to sunburn, chic sandals (yes, almost free) and the experience, as the Ganesha statues at the end of Feierei (which times three, times seven, and elsewhere will take thirty days) to be sunk in the sea. Made of mud, become mud. Beautiful. Muddy.

Tuesday then back to Bangalore at the front door proportioned grad still Dinesh, who had transferred to the train for our trip to Pune and hoped that I call yet. I'm not. And he wanted to go to the train degree. So right on, from in and train with a different plan for Belgam.

Belgam, a small town, na, ne town centers in Karnataka, where it makes Gopi for 26 years, a project with shepherds and tried to give ne option for where to live. So all that to include medical care, even for the sheep, as well as jobs for the women of the shepherd. Ne exciting projects and interesting area, with more gibs http://shramik.org .

Evening, then on to Pune, a mere 7 hours (first implausible estimates of the driver amounted to 2 hours) night trip and then finally to 4:30 at the hotel. At 8 out again, finally invited us to warn of a conference and should talk about IT for rural communities. At the College of Agricultural Banking, all bankers, of course. Ok, some NGOs were also represented. Was ok but where present time community solutions rather than big business. And all were quite impressed, whatever that means. And the first connections are paying off already, see you tomorrow for some time NEN write request coal solln finance me quiet time

Puna, yes, but then once I had it two days time. The city of Osho , and really in some places very pleasant result. Meditative calm, well, at least quiet, and pleasant cafes, nice people, relaxing. And still in transition, like so much in India. Glass facades and over again in between Ganesha, clear, is celebrated still. The environment has led us then not only to his visit NER paper mill, but even challenged our creativity, so that was born of two layers of paper ne beautiful lamp.

So much of the good time for the trip home. What does Bangalore. However, not all the way home, in the way of him some day just 24 hours so we went to Tumkur took over and since we have been invited but the same again by Asha Dinesh's sister. Sunday, there was NS Rotary Club luncheon, as we could not be missing. Now that was a bit unusual, is now moving to the second time after the bankers' conference in Pune, under suit-makers, but also interesting times. After all, we went so as not about big business, but for charity, well, was really interesting time to experience something from an Indian perspective. Donated school desks for schools, doctors helped the people honored them with the state entitled to payment have all that. And again diligently gefuttert clear. The rotary head from Bangalore to us even then drove back to Bangalore, saved ne coach, great.

Well, all in all an impressive outing, and as we were arrived here yesterday, was really only get to eat fast compared to what's on the plan. Well, India, once again everything differently than planned. The big day, where most have their Ganesha the water to pass, and powerful party everywhere. Drummers, colorful flashing Ganesha statues, all full of chaos, exciting. An impressive welcome party (Video Impressions: [1] [2] ).

PS: I have it done, never again I will not blog for so long determined, is not it. This dates to beggars (!), And I do not even know who I like here, which discourages long, when I write so much at once. However, again today action. India in the Twenty20 World Cup win, the whole city goes crazy. Masses of Indians follow the game it in front of the television business, which - had extra time on - of course. And then There Were party, we just are world champions, yah! (Video Impressions [1] [2] [3] ).
