                                        Laquo; The joys of interviews. Harry Rud is no longer an aid worker in Afghanistan. He’s a bean-counting text bitch in an international NGO’s headquarters in London. It’s a long way from the hari rud. It might be the death of him. I’m still on a river too. Well, a canal that spills into the Thames. Stories, mine and others, are even more tedious than before. For a moment, I almost miss them. It’s been a frustrating week and I feel the need to bitch is all. There’s a post-it note curling o...I’m not...

I’ve arrived in Delhi safely, without any major airline/airport related hurdles, and have moved into my new room. 1 It’s hot. 2 I don’t need half the crap I bought with me. 3 I am going to have to buy a new wardrobe. 4 There’s a lot of men…everywhere. And I don’t mean in a “ooh look at all the hotties” way. 5 I seriously miss everyone. 6 This is going to be harder than I thought. 7 It’s hot.

When I mentioned to Subhash how inefficient the whole set up was…he looked at me and said, “aisa hi hai” (that’s just how it is). I guess that sums up the whole bureaucratic system here: the frequent power outages, the lineups, the disinterested personnel….Aisa hi hai. What Did You Have For Dinner?

I’ve been in Delhi for about a week now, although it feels like a lifetime. Everyone tells me that these eight months are going to fly by, that once I get settled life will get easier…. These past few days have been very difficult, emotionally and physically. Firstly, it’s 47 degrees here. Do you know what happens to a person when it’s 47 degrees celsius? I realise now that they were not bullshitting.

This weekend I went to see a Manipur ballet performance at the India Habitat Centre. Based on the poems of Rabrinath Tagore, it was a beautiful expression of man’s relationship with the universe and the divine. The theme of the ballet was: “I am roaming the earth, bewildered at everything around me”. What Did You Have For Dinner? Taking a Rickshaw to the Oberoi.

Office dynamics in India are very different than Canada, and quite the study in human observation. Let me tell you a little about the people that I work with:. The office also has two assistants and a receptionist. I sit in the reception area, so I get to spend a lot of time with Chanchal, the receptionist. She’s a colourful character, and having her there means that I don’t ever get bored. She’...I haven’t...

It is the inevitable question that is raised in every conversation I have with my parents: so what did you eat today? After I recite the day’s gastronomical indulgences, my mother proceeds to berate me on my lack of nutrition. Why don’t you take better care of your health? Nothing else matters, really.
