I am writing from the dining room table of my new apartment. I have been in the apartment for 2 weeks now. One day less than that if you take into account the first night, when I was locked out of the house. A huge thanks goes to a gracious neighbor that allowed me to crash at her (cultural don’t) place that night. I wake up, press the snooze button on my travel al...

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By hannanb on May 26, 2010. And now for the stereotypical (yet inevitable) ‘it’s really hot’ blog post:. It’s been hitting 100 ºF every day for almost three months now, and it’s been over 110 ºF each day for almost two months. Yesterday it was 116 ºF. But numbers can lie; I’ll express it in a different way:. When I buy bottled water (ew), I take off the branding label if I am carrying the bottle, as the ink from it comes off on my (sweaty) hand as I carry it. You are comme...

By hannanb on January 28, 2010. 1) While I love that eggs are placed directly in plastic shopping bags, I do miss milk cartons pouches just aren’t the same. 2) On Sankranthi, the national kite festival, I stood on my neighbors’ roof for about an hour trying and mostly failing to fly a kite. Even when she gets the kite in the air and passes me the string, I manage to get it stuck in a tree. By hannanb on January 13, 2010.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By hannanb on June 18, 2010. I have been thinking about these questions (or some version of them) ever since beginning work in Nagpur last November:. How does a sex negative environment impact HIV prevention, care, support and treatment programs? How can HIV programming be effective in such an environment? Surprised (that this was said at all; that it was said around. They knew I was in India to work for an HIV NGO and have done work in the field previously; and that the s...

My days were spent trying to form some semblance of a trail through a rock field by crushing and slowly moving these rocks. The work site, Mt Yale. At first, the comparison between trail work in the Rocky Mountains and my life in Nagpur seems almost silly other than the absolute necessity of a filtered water source, what could possibly be. About the two experiences? Of all the people.

On the board announcing platform numbers, I saw that my train was delayed to 1:20 am. I go to the Inquiries desk to ask why. After pushing my way to the front, the man behind the glass tells me that the train will be leaving late because it will arrive here late. Fair enough I suppose. Thoughts from Nagpur, India. Anna in the 10s. Kachchh of the Day.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By hannanb on March 19, 2010. Most of my blog posts thus far have been non-work related, even though I spend 5.5 days per week in the/an office. So. As of late, however, I have been spending more time out of Nagpur. About 1.5 months ago, I traveled to Hyderabad for about a week to work with the Hyderabad branch of my NGO. This office had piloted the project that my Nagpur office is currently implementing. Based on the successes from the pilot project in Andhra Pradesh, sim...
