Just taking a break from the website. It is being constructed at a relatively slow and steady pace as getting a hold of Happy (my employer) has been difficult. But, as soon as we get the domain name and ftp instructions, it will be viewable at thedeafway.org.
Things are quite slow right now in general, as compared to the wild times of the first two months here. I spend most of my days at home — except when I am rescued by either Tom or Mutya to go do something. I also have been told by Happy that going to Deaf Way twice a week is interfering with the website's development, so I go in oon my other n Saturdays only.
Will probably be going to Ladac in July, as well as the volunteer conference in Kolkatta. I did some work on the conference report of which I am very proud. I've posted it on my other blog: bent horizon.

Still.. Alive
There will be no images in this overdue blog. Nothing alienates viewers from a website more than lack of updates — so I'm hoping to will you all back...
In summation, since my last blog update, I stayed in Palolem, came back to Delhi and stayed in the guest house, met a bunch of new volunteers, went to Agra and Jaipur with them (that's where the Taj Mahal is, went to Manali and Solang (in the Himalayas) and have been working on the website and Conference Report since. Actually, the report is finished and it's just the website now.
Been teaching three deaf and one hearing person a small host of web-based programs they will need to maintain the site after I'm gone. That's been going fine, but challenging nonetheless. Been going to the gym to improve my physique (which has gotten worse only if you consider a decrease in muscle and increase in fat detrimental), and to help with my ever-increasing back pain. It's not that bad really and the gym has improved it. I blame the pain on the fact that counters (kitchen) are shorter here — just like the people. I surely had nothing to do with the fact that I slouch all day, sometimes in front of a computer, have crooked legs, flat feet and am getting older. The counters.
We (we being Mutya and I) are meeting the new volunteer from Germany in the next couple of days. I promise to fill you in on other details including the Conference Report (which looks awesome). Time passes much slower here, after all.
