        One thing I’ve consciously worked on here in India is building relationships. Greg Doyle and I talked last night and he reminded me of a conversation we had in the US. I stated that I would avoid making friends in India as I didn‘t want to lose them when I left. I had it in my mind that I really hat

        I’m over here laughing at my condition. Please laugh with me :)

        In a small way and because there isn’t much I can do about it and in large part because I’ve been taught to persevere, I am working through these recurring health issues. I’m the kind of guy who always tried for the no-sick

      • A Sunday Drive
        09/24/07
        After 55 days in India (8 weekends), Mike and I have been running out of new places to see in the Hyderabad area. Sunday we decided to head out of the city and see a large Dam which holds the main water reservoir for Hyderabad as well as a Waterfall and possibly take a boat ride.

        It was a

        Mike and I didn't venture out of the city today as it was expected to rain fairly hard. We decided to visit the Charminar again. It ended up being a wonderful day with partly cloudy skies and a warm sun.

        I took some video for a change and put it together in an Indian music video form

        At last, we’ve finally reached another weekend and I’m not feeling sick, yeah!

        Mike and I are heading out for more sight seeing and photo opportunities. I wanted to start the weekend off by sharing with you something that gave me a great chuckle at breakfast this morning. If you‘ve been f

        Well, I woke up with it again this morning.

        On the positive side, I knew the symptoms immediately this time and called the doctor for a refill on the meds. I paid Rs. 200 or $5.00 US for 5 prescriptions. Things seem to be under control this time and I should be ready for work tomorrow and

      • Sick Again Today
        09/16/07
        I don't mean home sick though I do miss my family. Something about India and my immune system just don't agree. I had travelers sickness last week and couldn't stop visiting the facilities. Since taking extremely stong medicine to stop that, I haven't been able to use the restroo

        Today Mike and I went out into the city for a shopping run. The intention was nothing more than to see things we hadn’t before. We accomplished this but I feel compelled to share a neat observation about Indian culture.

        I’ve mentioned before that India is a much more humble and respectfu

      • 45 Days In India
        09/14/07
        We saw the sun yesterday for only the 2nd time in 45 days. There’s a lot you take for granted growing up in California and the weather is sure one of them. We’ve been working so many hours that simple things like weather are not a daily concern however, Mike and I walked outside the Bank building th

        My apologies for the lack of recent updates. I started to feel nauseous on Tuesday the 4th and I've been very sick since Thursday the 6th. I think I've lost more than 10 pounds in 4 days and much of my appetite is gone as well. Now, I can say India has changed me both spiritually and physi

        I'll try to have another update this weekend.

        In a previous update I mentioned that I'll have a 180 day tenure here. It's actually only 120 days and I'm now 25% complete. India, in these 30 days, has been a life changing experience in many ways. There is a wonderful commercial on TV here that shows their national sport "Cric
