Just a quick note about today before I hit the sack.

The morning we spent writing emails and figuring out our technology. We had a lovely lunch at Just Around the Corner (which by the way has lovely shots of the Himalayas in the bathroom). We were meeting up with another Woodstock classmate, Dorothy B., who is working in Mumbai. Her parents and my parents worked together in Ludhiana in '69. We will meet again on Tuesday, so I will catch a shot of her then. 

Then after a quick nap we went on a walk on the Prominade on a lovely Sunday evening. Facinating watching young families, lovers, elderly, dog walkers, strollers, loungers  and joggers out and about.

    I will be traveling and visiting India, with my Father. Our primary destination in India is Ranchi, Jharkhand. We will also visit other towns and cities in that north-eastern region as well as other places in India.

    Ranchi is the first place where our ancestors lived. When they went to India.  They had been there from 1868 - 1915. They were the first generation that we know of that connected us to India. This visit will connect us with the Christians who live there who are the beneficiaries of that early missionary work.

    My father and I will be joined by others,including my father's cousin, Wolfram Peetz. He is looking forward to see Purulia where his mother was born.

    I am still seeking funding to help with some of the costs related to research. The research is for a historical novel I am writing based on the lives of these anscestors.
