Yesterday evening I boarded a train to Kolkata so that I could fly to Gujarat today. I arrived at the CMF office in Ahmedabad this afternoon tired but ready to find out what my new assignment would be about. Details though will seemingly have to be obtained tomorrow. Until then I got settled in. I am to sleep in the spare bedroom that is part of the office (which is located in a residential building). The entire flat has not been used as a living space for some time so there is not fridge, or stove, or hot pot, or plates... well you get the idea. I have been living in a hotel for so long that currently this doesnt seem to be that big of a deal, although a fridge might have been nice.
It is sort of strange to have left the remittance project after having spent so much time thinking about it. I hope that this move ends up feeling worthwhile. Either way, Ahmedabad seems to be a nice city and I am looking forward to exploring it.
The three pictures are from Orissa. The first is of a temple I visited in Bubaneswar. The second is of Devo (an Adikar staff member) and I. The third is Jyoti (left) and Mr. Amin.
Are you working day and night or have you explored the city yet?
luv
mom
