Tommorrow I begin work with the Centre for Equity Studies, also known as Aman Biradari. This is an organisation that was started by Harsh Mander sometime after the Gujarat riots. This new work means a complete shift for me from my comfort area (read women's rights) to the broader issue of communalism. I am quite excited about this shift and also am a little nervous since I havent really kept myself updated on this issue.
I am also happy and sad since I came back to Delhi after spending nearly 4 weeks at home :) so right now I am also missing being at home like crazy. After a very long time I had spent so much time at home and had sort of got into the routine of things there. Mom leaving in a crazed hurry in morning, coming back at 6 tired awaiting her cup of tea. My sister and my crazy talkitive nephew, who can steal your heart by his sorry and ok. I was called 'anna maasi' by him, totally miss him...
On my way back I had a chance to visit Sanchi stupas and Khajuraho temples, since I was going for a friend's brother's wedding in khajuraho. That was well... quite refreshing, different and for sure SHOCKING :)
Anyway, will write soon about my new work, till then my dear blog, wish me luck :)
