And among those conveniences, internet probably comes among the top few now...its hard to imagine what life would be like without the medium that I have become so much dependent on for all my information needs! So, I don't think I'd be away from the net for long even while I'm in Nepal...which means you'll get to read my <em>mindless musings</em>...or may be my musings from Nepal wouldn't be so mindless! Anyhow, you'll be hearing from me probably as often as you are now, or may be more...hopefully!

And "other people" actually includes (or included) my grandparents and parents, for some of their lives. Living in a one room buliding, bathroom/outhouse outside, running water (cold), sometimes no electricity. So very pampered here in Mission, BC, Canada. And so very clueless. But then i take some (extremely small) solace that i can survive without electricity and running water - for very short periods of time, and provided i have gas for a stove to heat a wash bucket. Field Seasons. 3 weeks in a camp (ok, in the mild summer, but with mosquitoes from hell.) made me feel like a PIONEER. But thank goodness it ENDED. I couldn't wait for that hot shower and comfy bed and internet connection and dvd collection... Have a great trip Mahesh (i mistyped that as "have a great trim" doesn't that mean something a bit crude in the Isles?), i expect we won't be hearing from you often, so take care.
