Rikki Masala going back to India

OK, so I never wrote the last entry I mentioned summarizing my feelings about India. Its been so long now that I need to go back to be reminded of a few things so I can write that summarization entry.

I'll be there for three weeks, this time following stray dogs, a veterinarian who cares for them and various organizations who are involved in either the support or destruction of them. Piyara Kutta ( http://piyarakutta.org/ ) is the name of the organization that is bringing me back a for this.

I'll be back in the same general area as I was last time. Previously I was living in the Indian neighborhood at the base of the hill. This time I'll be in the center of the Tibetan community at the top of the hill. The vet is Indian and lives at the bottom of the hill and we'll be spending most of our time down there but honestly it's just better in the Tibetan area mostly because the accommodations are more geared for Westerners.

Right now I'm in Stockholm, Sweden. I leave for Delhi tomorrow morning extremely early. Its going to be weird going from one of the most clean and ordered societies in the world to one of the most dirty and chaotic. I'll probably be more comfortable in India just for that reason.

I'll probably be able to update this blog more often this time. I'll probably have more down time than I did last year. I'm not sure what kind of internet access I'll have though. Of course there will be pictures included with the posts.
