so how is the work
I know Blog aint the place for the comments on work - are their moments of revelation or is the cultural hit keeping you happy. You look happy and bike looks like good fun. With the water from Pakistan making its way south I wondered if you were high and dry . Have you been enjoying delights of william Dalrymple 's writing -- you have great access to cheap books in India - ( well in Delhi) Are you heading to Delhi for any of the games ? Spring is well and truly hitting Sydney - but the sea is a cool 17degrees - so you have to move to survive - well I do Reg has taken a new job with Wakgett AMS - intense but I think he loves it ... he has his head around all the politics already I ve been working on a project for Aboriginal High School Girls - pilot project is Dubbo .. its been a struggle to get to a meaningful point - but we just have .. so I am happy . - Have you plans ? I am trying to formulate some .. with no success... keep thinking the AVI time was one of my most alive adventures .. so hope you are having lots of highs on this journey Jill

wrong mail address
sorry, this one is right

Bon voyage
Hopeing you get this before you leave in a few hours. Good luck and have fun. Wish I was there with my bullet, but will have to be content with finishing my Phd and slogging it out at work. This morning Arnold's soccer. ps Rabbitohs 24 - Eels 16. Still hope for the semis.

Happy journey
No need to encourage you to have a fabulous time Paul - you will!!!!!!!!!!! And with your enthusiasm Leah can hardly resist the 'I luv India' bug. So glad you will get to spend some time in Jibhi - special moments hey!!! Hugs Marguerite

mangoes
Hi. I too am a mango lover down south near Goa. The Goa alphonso is the most flavorful variety due to the soil conditions there I think. You can eat any number of mangoes a day even half a dozen. Just follow the same rules with other fruit ie, eat them mostly alone preferably in the mornings as breakfast and evenings as dessert. It is better to take fruit before meals rather than after. Its only when they are wrongly combined with certain foods that the problems arise

AWESOME
Gotta luv a man with a chariot.................this friend is very glad you survived to share the tale. Hugs Marguerite

The Puri Rath Yatra
Kudos to you Paul and your friends for having braved the Rath Yatra experience. I was born in Cuttack, just 80 kms. from Puri, lived for many years in Cuttack, have visited the temple so many times, but never ever ventured to attend the Yatra, and I dont even intend to

Good to see the write up but some information need correction
Dear Mahadev Greetings from SAATHII, Bhubaneswar Office! Thanks for such a beautiful and elaborative writing about Rainbow Pride Walk 2010 in Bhubaneswar. Please find some of the concerns mentioned below; First of all, Hon’ble Delhi High Court had given its remarkable judgement on Section 377, Indian Penal Code on July 2, 2009 not in June 2009. Secondly, this year’s Rainbow Pride Walk in Bhubaneswar was organized on July 3, 2010 not in June 3, 2010. Thirdly, Rainbow Pride Walk 2010 in Bhubaneswar was organized by Sampark, a civil society coalition to build the capacity of sexual minorities and people living with HIV in Orissa to advance their health and rights, where SAKHA is a member agency. So it was a collective effort by all the 23 coalition members and led by some of the member agencies those who are part of Sampark Legal and Media Advocacy sub-committees. Thanks again. Regards Biswa Bhusan Pattanayak
