Grand Plans.



We had it all figured out today. We scheduled the Ola cab last night and were ready for a full day of adventures. First we were going to go to the best Dosa place in Bangalore. I mean we are in the South. We had to find the best dosa place. Then we were going to go to the Bangalore Palace and on our way back stop at the mall to get some sneakers for Ashram. Mind you he has sneakers but chose tie sneakers and is being stubborn about learning how to tie his shoes and his teachers requested he get easy on and off shoes. The students take off their shoes in class.

When we started out, it said that it would take about 1 and half hours to our first stop but then the fast road/flyover was closed for construction. 2 hours later we were still 45 minutes from our first destination and as you can see from the above pictures the kids had enough of being in the car and they were getting hungry. JJ actually fell asleep since he had been up at 5:45 a.m. for soccer practice. Truth be told, John and I were ready to get out of the car as well. We decided to scrap our plans and just go to the mall which was close and get what Ashram needed for school. We just took it as a learning experience that in the future when we want to go somewhere in the city or North of the city, we need to leave around 8:30am which is no problem since JJ is already up for soccer practice and Ash gets up by 7am. Live and learn.

John and I treated ourselves to coffee while the kids played for 45 minutes in the play area in the mall. It is a nice feature if you need to get things done. You pay about $5 for 45 minutes for the both of them to be entertained while we shop or in our case get coffee. Which ended up being the best coffee John has had so far in India.

John's World...Jeeva Hop Garden

Image
The day has finally come.  I had been thinking about this for almost a year.  Of course it's beer related.  HOPS... Hops grown here in India.  Our friend Arjun had suggested spending his time at his family's foundation Jeevarathni.  Jeevarathni  is an organization working to improve the lives of economically and emotionally deprived children, specially abled children and the aged living in poverty and injustice.  We brainstormed some ideas to help the foundation and came up with a hop garden. For those of you who don't know or have not gone through the Sam Adams Brewery Tour a few hundred times, hops are essentially what gives beer its flavor.  There are close to one hundred hop varieties now in existence.  Combine those hops at different stages in the brewing process and you will have a unique beer unto-itself.   For various reasons, India has never really had a significant amount of hop production.  The weat...

John’s world...habits

Image
One of the things I’m most interested in dicovering when I travel abroad are the habits I engage in after the trip.  Some are short lived.  Some involve a gadget I bring back.  Some become an integral part of who I am.  Years ago I was in Mexico and I noticed the friends I was staying with would drink their water out of a clay pot.  They told me  that it keeps the water naturally cool and removed toxins (like many things apparently do).  So of course I brought a giant clay pot with me back to the United States.  The habit was short lived.  I drank water out of the pot for two weeks and regifted it to someone as a wedding present.  I called it a wedding pot even (I’m terrible and if I gave you that pot please post that I’m a bad person in the comment section). I had coffee for the first time in Spain.  I prop my foot on the bar at a pub like a proper local in Britain would posture themselves.  Habits that have lasted....

Farmhouse Retreat

Image
My class on Education Policy and Decentralisation took a field trip to a village. One of the students, Sanjeet, was kind enough to offer his farmhouse for all of us to stay at the night before. Sanjeet has an amazing story which I will save for another post. Briefly though, for 20 years or so he worked in the corporate world and decided to leave his job and enter in the MA program at Azim Premji University. His family runs a school in a village outside Bangalore and he wanted to learn more about education in India and put his talents to good use in the social sector. There was about 15 of us including my Professor, Dr. Paik. This class is more like a community and how they interact with each other, with me, and our Professor is a case study in itself. Right from day 1 of the class, I felt the warmth, kindness, and enthusiasm from each one of them. The farmhouse adventure is a testament to their true generosity and compassion. We left the campus around 5:30pm on this bus th...
