Hello to all of you... which, coincidentally, happens to be none of you.
But that is okay. I don't mind shouting into the wind. This is like writing in an echo chamber. All of my words, all of my ideas bounce around inside my head, onto the computer screen, and then back into my head. It's a closed ecosystem.
My family and I have been in India for the past two weeks, living with my parents-in-law. To be more specific, we are in the state of Gujarat, in the town of Vallabh Vidyanagar. My wife's great-grandfater, Bhaikaka, founded the town many years back with the idea that it would be a center of learning in the rural heartland of the state.
And you know that Bhaikaka is either historically-significant or a Brazilian soccer player because nobody else can get away with using only one name.
Over the last half-century, Vidyanagar has indeed blossomed into a sprawling town replete with schools, universities, and post-graduate facilities. It's located right next to Anand, a booming city of some 600,000 people, and is sandwiched between Vadodara and Ahmedebad, the two largest cities in the state of Gujarat.
We'll be here for another four or five days, and then it's back to Chicago.
Signing off from sunny India.
