George's VSO adventures: March 2010

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, 21 March 2010. A few old articles I wrote about Pakistan:. 8216;If we go by the Karakoram Highway we should hide you under the luggage through the areas close to Swat’. Also unable at that time of the morning to discern a joke, and a joke too close to the truth for comfort, I therefore plumped for the ‘risky’ route, over the 13,000 foot Babassur pass. A future brighter than an orange? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/vsoadventures/. Http:/ www.awwdindia.org. In 2008 I was ...

George's VSO adventures: May 2010

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, 20 May 2010. Another visit to the hospital. 8216;Do you need any help? I had met Tarranum, Tabassum’s sister earlier in the morning, and she walked back with me to their home. She introduced me to her five year old daughter, who was a cute little bundle of energy, and who hardly stayed still long enough for me to take a photo. 8217; I was utterly powerless to do anything to help or to say anything that would provide any comfort. Sunday, 16 May 2010. Sad news from Pakistan. Friday, 14 May 2010.

George's VSO adventures: December 2008

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Monday, 8 December 2008. A bundle of anecdotes. I have made the momentous decision to leave Pakistan, and will be back in the UK in time for Christmas. It was a very difficult decision to make, and I will miss everyone here a huge amount (particularly all the wonderful people at MIED). But I won't say any more about that now or I will start crying (again). (Although I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone back home! And then that night there were two more goats tethered outside my bedroom windo...

George's VSO adventures: November 2008

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, 23 November 2008. She first started talking about her childhood. When she was very little she remembered playing with dolls as with many little girls, but she also remembered playing with the cattle! She remembers when Pakistan became independent. A national guard was formed in each village and they went around shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' (long live Pakistan! Friday, 21 November 2008. Life in a Chitrali village continued. Here follows a continuation of my description of life in a village in Chit...

George's VSO adventures: October 2010

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, 3 October 2010. Before I left for Kolkata I visited some Christian friends who mentioned the following verse. This has had special meaning for me throughout my time in Kolkata, so it seems appropriate to end this chapter of my life with this verse, but at the same time looking to the future:. Advice for the unwary British traveller in India. When are you planning to leave Kolkata? I was definitely leaving, flights booked, tickets printed out, parental pick up at Heathrow confirmed, on the 7.

George's VSO adventures: September 2010

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Rakhi, Ramazan, and a 'normal' Kolkata day. One of the things I will really miss about Kolkata is the fact that I can get out of bed at 8.30, then leave my house at one minute to ten and still arrive at the office on time. It’s great! I asked whether there is any festival where brothers celebrate how wonderful their sisters are, but apparently not. So, part of this afternoon was spent tying bracelets on each other and eating Bengali sweets that the girls had bought in. In 2008 ...

George's VSO adventures: January 2009

http://georgechetwynd.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Monday, 5 January 2009. Notes on reintegration in western society. Reintegration back into UK society requires remembering the following concepts:. A) punctuality: trains leave on time, particularly when you are late (conversely, arriving particularly early for a train will almost certainly ensure that it will be late). Pakistani notions of time and punctuality need to be quickly forgotten in these circumstances. F) gentlemanly behaviour: there is a need to realise as quickly as possible that men do not ...
