Chai and Conversations in Mysore, India

Posted by on January 22nd 2011
India is a vast and diverse landscape, not only of mountains and deserts, but of peoples. It is, more importantly, a transparent society – individuals and groups from various backgrounds intersect on the same roads every day and are clearly distinguishable. The shepherd, riding on a bicycle, passes by buses full of ...

“Incredible India”

Posted by on January 19th 2011
India is just one of those countries that never gets old; every visit reveals something new.  Through the  Students for Development Internship I was able to travel to India for the second time, this time as part of my masters research in Community Health and Epidemiology.  I was fortunate to ...

Duty

Posted by on August 24th 2010
Well my time here in Delhi is coming to a close.  I think I'm happy about this. There are many things I will miss about India---it has been my life for the past three months. Things have become routine. I've gotten to know the best places to get chai, some ...

Le temps et l espace

Posted by on August 2nd 2010
Devant mon ordinateur, je lis le message de mon père, mentionnant le fait que les nouvelles de l’Inde n’affluent pas. Ici, je crois avoir finalement oublié le temps. Je crois que mon esprit vague dans des réflexions, qu’elles soient personnelles ou portées vers ce monde qui m’entoure. En fait, chaque ...

CHRI’s RTI Team in New Delhi

Posted by on July 24th 2010
I have been in India since June 5, 2010, working for the Commonwealth Human Rights Intiative (CHRI) in New Delhi. I think it is by random that the interns are placed in their respective departments at CHRI. Why else would an English major, such as myself, be placed with the Rights to ...

It helps to write

Posted by on July 13th 2010
It really helps to write out your feelings. You learn to deal with the problem - it might not be the solution - but it sure beats the hell out of beating yourself up. http://whatdoesittaketosavelives.tumblr.com/post/807520346/dont-smile-at-me

“You gotta learn to work the system, and not let the system work you.”

Posted by on July 12th 2010
I take a deep breath. Yes. I am still alive. I take a long step. No. It was too far. Sometimes I get tossed around like a piece of rubbish by what people say - especially if it is something I have overlooked or left unfinished. When I was young, it was easy to ...

Failures

Posted by on July 3rd 2010
One month later I find myself collecting pieces of myself. Shorcuts...never a good idea. Even to the finest details. The pieces that you are picking up are heavier than the whole. From legal papers to the each word you say to the each moment you are sitting - people are watching you - ...

Month in review in Bangaluru, India.

Posted by on June 22nd 2010
Delhi airport - 8 hour stopover. May 31st, 2010, 3AM. Alone. Empty. Heavy. I carried my two check-ins to the counter. After a long flight from Canada to Belgium, and a 4 hour delay, I have finally made it to India. New Delhi. It's early in the morning, only handful of people ...

Reflections from Home

Posted by on February 24th 2010
I've been home for over a week now and time is just flying by. It reminds me of how comfortable home is and how easy it is to not plan every minute - whereas India demands full attention all the time. I have to admit that it is ...
