odd....

so i was asked to do the photos for the press conference the other day...because their camera didn't have batteries or something...so i did and it was cool...although they were dark, cause the room was dark...and drank some tea and ate muffins and whateva...the TCHRD just released 2 special reports ( on capital punishment and torture) and the big 2005 annual report ...which you can download the pdf for off the website...respect.
anyway...got back upstairs and chokeyi asked if i was going with the guys down to dharamsala to go to the english one...i said "yeah?? sure" and away iwent...it was in a coffee house/ cafe...and four of us hooligans met with the indian press types....it was much less informal...but we got our picture in the most popular paper and apparently the most gossipy one around these parts...so here you go...colin in the paper. odd...

Notoriety
You have made the press..you are now notorious...Since we cannot read the language, I wonder if you could provide a summarized interpretation...Jordan asked, "What does it say!" in a tone that implied that I should be able to translate...now where would she get that idea...it is nice that she thinks so highly of her dad ;^D...love ya

Press Conference
Looks like you hit the ground runnin,how absolutely cool it is seeing you on the front page of a newspaper. (even tho i cant read it) Also i'm having a problem with the acronyms, sorry. You make me smile so much these days and you probably dont even know it. You are important to the people and they to you, be ready for the light to shine. I love you
