If this life was a movie - Preamble

Things have happened already, things will happen eventually. This song is the song that should be played throughout the entirety of your 3rd row seat to the directors cut of The Life of Alex.

The Rise of Penukonda

Sunday - Waking up, my eyes have been quite irritated and feeling puffy in the morning. I hope it subsides. After breakfast, Ronnie took Debbie and I straight up to Penukonda Hill. Getting through Penukonda was more of a hike than the actual Penukonda hill! There was a political rally in Penukonda on top of the usual Sunday market mayhem. Once we got through Penukonda itself, we travelled some roads having construction on them to near the top of the Penukonda hill, until we could not pass any further past all the construction vehicles. We found a bend in the road where we could park, then continued via foot, determined to meet the top. Arriving at the top of Penukonda Hill, we were greeted by beautiful birds and the remains of the fort which rest across the hill. The Penukonda (Penu refering to gold or made of gold, konda refering to hill) once served as an ancient tactical lookout, as well as the residency of the same king who ruled over Hampi. The king of Hampi would often ret...

Tailored for Education

Thursday - The morning started with Mani informing me that we would not be going to the field today. As the school had exams, this meant it was a day in the office for Debbie and I. However, things were not without interest in the office, as many squirrels, monkeys, birds and snakes roamed past - with the rat snake even trying to enter a few times. In the morning we also chatted to Ish, KK and Chewie for a while before they began their journey back home to Bangalore. After lunch, Debbie informed me that the SEDS school children were being fitted with their independence day uniforms, so I went up and saw them handing out the uniforms and had a little chat with some of the children. Can I Slither In? Friend?

Night of the Jackal

Saturday - With a meeting in the morning, we discussed out placement projects and other opportunities available here. Debbie and I then worked in the office until lunch. After lunch, Ronny, Debbie and I set off to Sanipalli Hill, with the goal of reaching the top of the hill even if we had to climb from the very base. We finally followed the entirety of the canal and found an entrance and made our way to the top of the hill, basking in the glory of the amazing view, majestic birds and colossal wind turbines. We were able to see all the water management projects that SEDS has completed all over the land and hill. On our way out of Sanipalli Hill, we saw some rabbits and a family of jackals.
