For the last two days I have been snowed down in work. Only yesterday I allowed myself a short (4 hours) stay in town. The destination: one of Bangalore's biggest book stores, Sopna. It was three floors filled with lots of great books, and there was a sale on, so nowI have three more books to carry home. I also got a "Teach yourself Kannada CD, the local language spoken in Karnataka, the state I am in. Now I can recall some of the colures, say how are you, count, read numbers, ask for more tea or if you would like some tea? And so on... I know more Kannada than most of the other people here ironically, as they are from other parts of the country.
Yesterday evening my boss from NIVA, the water research institution I work for back home in Norway, arrived. It was funny speaking Norwegian again, yet alone here about the weather, the cold and the interesting new things that has happened in project since I left. How do I keep up, well I will just do my very best…
Tomorrow we are off to the field: My first meeting with the river, the people and the environment. I cannot wait...The Bellary region is very diverse, and has many different types of scenery. It is meant to be very beautiful.
I hope you are all doing well back home, that life is treating you well and that you are all enjoying life. Keep smiling…
Klem Mai
