Saturday in India

All of the official meetings of the delegation are over. Last night our panel with the students at St Stephens College was telecast on NDTV 24/7 in a prime time slot watched by 60 million people. It was fun for all of us to see our hour and one half interchange edited with a great deal of skill down to 25 minutes. The best of the student questions were included in the edit and it I am glad that the State Dept. is going to send us a dvd for ourselves.

This morning I am going to the school that has been supported by Jody Wadhwa, the Chair of our Board of Trustees. This afternoon, I will have a chance to visit with his brother and nephew.

I have uploaded all of the pictures I have taken on this trip and will post the links in the appropriate places in the blog once I have a chance to caption them briefly. I wish I had had more time to do chronicle my experiences as I had them, but I intend to go back and remember them--something to do on the 15+hour direct flight from Delhi to Chicago tonight--really later tomorrow morning. We leave at 12:15 a.m. Sunday and arrive at 5:15 a.m. Sunday--what an extraordinarilly long day--but imagine the speed at which travel is now possible.

More later.
