Passage to India

Hello Friends!

It's been exactly three years since my last post from Morocco, and now that I find myself again in a new country, I feel the urge to share the experience again. Not that the last three years haven't been interesting or worth sharing, but there's something about a fresh start in an exotic place that gets my finger a-typing on my keyboard (this is a work keyboard and its missing an "f" key so I always say that it's f-ed up, that's work humor for you). Plus I really stink at keeping in regular touch so I hope this will partially suffice.

I am living in Chennai (formerly known as Madras) India and working at an NGO called the Centre for Micro Finance. Chennai is a frenetic city and I will post pictures of the roaring tributaries of traffic very soon. Until then, I hope that this blog will (partially) fill my lapses in communication and share with you some impressions of the sub-continent. I don't claim to have a particularly sharp observational lenses but through my entries, I hope you can catch a glimpse of the pulsing, crazy, unpredictable, beautiful country that is India.
