Surprise! I am reactivating this blog for the brief two weeks that I am back in India for senior thesis research. My thesis is on solar power in India, so I've got some places to go, people to see thanks to my department's generous funding. :) For these first few days I will be in Delhi for the Delhi Renewable Energy Conference, then I will be flying BACK TO PUNE to do some more interviews and get a chance re-visit the people and places I love from summer of 2009.
The 14-hour flight is now over and I am staying at a friend's house in Delhi tonight. Highlights of the journey so far have been 1) eating REAL Indian food for the first time in a year, and nearly coughing to death on the spices 2) watching Law & Order on the plane 3) getting to practice Hindi with my taxi driver and be relatively comprehensive after not speaking a word of the language in five months.
Delhi is as dirty and chaotic as I remember, but perhaps it will be more redeeming in the daylight. Bucket shower, then bed. :)
