Slightly Wet In Mumbai
Heh. Mumbai is a mess right now, as a result of the active monsoon.
I managed to get in on a morning flight out of Bangalore that was taking advantage of a 12 hour lapse in the rain last night.
Pilot was bringing the aircraft in for a landing, but a cloud broke over the runway, and moments before touching down he fired the engines and we “took off” again. First time that has happened for me. (Fun part was the view as we took a large low-altitude circle around the city.)
Back in Mumbai – more private sector meetings/interviews. Looking forward to speaking with members of Deeshaa – namely Atanu Dey and Rajesh Jain.
Also following up on the Bangalore expedition (which revolved around the computing networks that have and are being pieced together in rural areas, hoping to look at what role these systems can play in reacting to system pertubations).
And finally, keeping an eye out for how subcommunities and individuals are taking care of them and theirs in a very wet Mumbai.
