summer in india: identity crisis
http://vvindiasummer.blogspot.com/2007/07/identity-crisis.html
Monday, July 23, 2007. I am sort of apprehensive about this post because of the positive feedback from the last post. I feel like anything I write has the potential to disappoint, as many of you (three to be exact) mentioned that the last one was the most "veena" that you have seen thus far. (Ha! I act like I'm JK Rowling and Harry Potter 7 just came out. :) ). These events, I recounted to my friend, were the things that made up my "Indian" identity. Yeah, i know, naive! But I guess this just goes back t...

summer in india: closing remarks on myrada interviews
http://vvindiasummer.blogspot.com/2007/07/closing-remarks-on-myrada-interviews.html
Tuesday, July 17, 2007. Closing remarks on myrada interviews. Tomorrow, July 18, marks the end of our field visits with Myrada SHG groups. The latter groups that we visited, we only dealt with the three sangha members, and an occasional relative or passerby. However, they did feel more comfortable when their other sangha members were present, during the interview. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Travel blogs of friends.

summer in india: on cleanliness
http://vvindiasummer.blogspot.com/2007/07/cleanliness-is-close-to-godl.html
Thursday, July 19, 2007. I am sitting in my dirty hotel room literally counting down the hours till I can leave this place, ChitraDurga. Namely, the Aishwarya Fort, which remains the dirtiest hotel at which I have stayed. Now, I have stayed at worse establishments, but they usually add an "s" to hotel (hostel.mmmkay? Oh yeah, in the last bathroom, i even found a bindi still stuck to the bathroom wall and a tiny little spider in the corner next to my sink. I was like "YOU HAVE TO ChANGE THEM I AM SICK!

Thursday, June 28, 2007. The members each introduced themselves and any relevant title. We learned earlier that day that the leader(s) of the group are only known as representative and do not have titles like “president” etc., so that there is no contention amongst the group. We also introduced ourselves, and where we were from. (It's really interesting they always introduce me as "Veena Madame."). In addition, they have contributed to the building of a temple and. Okay more on this stuff later. Traveler...

Yes, I know for my friends who are reading this, they are thinking "umm Veen. are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure, I have polled several people (even the training center staff) and they all assumed I was. In addition, most of the sangha women, will ask Vijay (my translator) or Rafi (our driver) in Kannada, "where is this woman from? America...
