Return to India - Mumbai

I arrived in Mumbai today and feel more than a little disoriented. I'm happy that I planned to stay only a few days here as I am starting to feel anxious to settle in and take my stuff out of my suitcase. After five nights in a 16-bed room, however, I am delighted to have my own funky room with a door that locks and a bathroom all to myself! The internet options are not as good as they were a few months ago, but at least the tiny little caves are still open here and there. The flight from London seemed like nothing for some reason, which is fantastic, I even slept!

Yesterday I was finally able to meet with the woman that was my excuse for going to London. I haven't been able to think about it all and write it down yet, but it was definitely positive. It seemed like the beginning of a long term thing, perhaps there will be a post-doc for me when I'm done with all of this.

I already have a meeting when I get to Ahmedabad. I also found out a few days ago that I will be staying at IIM in the women's dorms, which is what I originally wanted - so that is great!

The weather here in Mumbai is fantastic, and the streets are as crazy as ever. Well, I think that's about all I've got for now. Love to you all!
