IST (Indian Standard Time)

IST = for all sorts of unforseeable reasons, most meetings start about an hour after they are planned to

Here is a blurry picture of the whole team:
Around the circle starting with Jessica (front in red), Dr. Sunaina, Sony, Dr. Miraj, Nupur, Yamilee, Julie, Dharani, and Mushir)...I took this awesome picture.

Today was our first full day of work during which we visited the two NGOs that we will be learning from duing the 4 week research period. It was another super-hot day (44C) and everyone had their low points during the day, but overall we are a tough group and I am very proud of all of us.

I liked this 'thought of the day' from a chalk board outside a "posh" 1-12 adademic school/vocational school run by Deepalaya that serves the surrounding slums:

CATRA! I'm so glad you're alive! Keep drinking water and putting on sunscreen. You're such a globetrotting hero. Just like the harlem globetrotters. Well, maybe not quite the same level of hero, but if you have some spare time in India maybe you can work on some fancy bball skillz. Sounds like you're having an awesome time and seeing some crazy things. Miss ya. Have fun,
