The pace picked up in our final week, and in our rush to complete our projects after returning from our overnight trip to Pune I mostly didn’t bother doing much online. Also, the internet went out for another full day from Sunday to Monday afternoon.
[note: I wrote this a few days ago, but was unable to post due to internet issues. Post on the rest of the week/overnight in Pune coming soon!] This post is about the happenings of this past Saturday, the Hindu harvest-related holiday of Sankrant. Sankrant is a holiday celebrated only by the women, who buy …

The combination of a 15 hour flight and huge time difference meant that we didn’t see the sun for almost a full day–leaving Newark in the evening, seeing sunrise and sunset briefly through the airplane windows, arriving between 9 and 10pm local time, …
