Day 11 - First day of sch. - Gandhi
Ahmadabad
Monday, 14 November, 2011
It is going to be a long day. First day of school ... I am pumped. Let's do this. Introduction and then housekeeping details. It is so exciting to see everyone again after one year if cyber communication. We meet Ashoke Chatterjee the Author of Rising Utthan and Nafisa Barot (one of the founding member of Utthan) stopped by on her way to the doctor's office.
The later part of the day was sent learning about M. K. Gandhi. We visited the Gandhi Ashram, got to see his house, meet with the portal team (Dina Patel responsible for the content and Mr. Bhatia) in charge of digitizing the life of Gandhi (for the most part as much as they can) and then went to the Gandhi university were we got brief details about his childhood and growing up experience at home, in London and in South Africa. It is the end of the day and since I skipped lunch, I was ready to eat anything. We headed back to the hotel and on getting there, some of us decided to go to the law gardens for some street food. it wasn't so bag and we were very satisfied and full when we left the roadside restaurant. Hopefully the food stays down. I guess we will find out tomorrow. Time to freshen up, study a bit and sleep. Shubh Raatri people.
