All not quite on the Eastern Front

I have been travelling a lot but mainly to cities for official chores: ItanagarGuwahatiDelhiBangaloreMysoreBangaloreChennaiPondicherryChennaiBangaloreDelhiGuwahatiItanagar, all in 20 days, phew!

The two trips to Delhi were for political clearance from Ministry of Env. & Forests and Ministry of External Affairs (since I work with a Government Institute) to attend a six-week field-course in Malaysia. The details of why I needed clearance although the course is completely funded are boring and not worth getting into. All in all, theres been no travelling to exciting places in North-east India, but hopefully in a day or two I am headed to forests in Malaysia for a field course conducted by the Centre for Tropical Forest Sciences. I got very lucky by getting accepted for this course.

On another note, I purchased a low-light 50-mm lens for my film camera, so hopefully I can take some good photographs from Malayland.

More here soon...
