Leaving them? Joining them? Climbing them?
Being us.

Nothing substantial..

..just racing..

Been 6 weeks since i wrote anything. Not that thoughts had stopped; they never, even if I try to. Just the discipline to write is not inculcated as yet.

Six week summary:
Was in USA, met friends, alumni & brother. All people i have always loved to talk to. A visit full of paradoxes & perspectives. Miami-Washington-NY-NJ-Boston. Not an easy ride, being there or being them.

                         Back in Jaipur.
Went back to India. A surprise four day visit to celebrate Vrinda's Birthday & meet family & friends. Relized it was a year since i had been there, and the last blog entry in Hindi was just a sign of how desperately i wanted to be back. This is one thing i am very happy about!

                           Know what's coming in 2005! Atleast i think so.
I know what I am doing right after AIESEC International. Travelling to Leh (North India), stopping for two days at IC and then going to Sri Lanka! I will work with Holcim and Grameen Bank for three months on a Micro Credit traineeship. In this year when the world is talking about poverty eradication, i thought i could learn a bit more. Awaiting.

                          Turning 24!
                          Feel Different? No. Feel mature.. no. Just feel more connected, more present more in here and now. Picnic with all friends and many new ones was the way it was celebrated. Just a nice good afternoon with bbq, football, cricket and conversations. Idea of a perfect weekend.
Thanks to Brenda, who took the lead.

Transition started:
Petr is the VPER at AI for 2005-07. We started our transition by going to the 'New Growing World': Shanghai & Hong Kong. Many meetings, wonderful conversations, useful insights, & meeting Rohit & Paris. Thought: growing Strong & growing hollow!
Thanks to LCs, MCs, Rohit & Paris! You guys are wonderful.
