I'm back



Back is the explorer, back from the wilderness :-)

It was a very 'full' experience, some barriers were broken and I got a lot of exposure that would not be generally possible. One of the things that drove me to go to Timbaktu was a strong curiosity/fascination -- what motivates these people, what are the nitty gritties of how the work gets done, how the financing gets done. All of this was amply answered (atleast at the first layer of the onion !) during this trip. Its a large group of people there, somewhat like a family and it was nice being a part of the family (in a limited way) and people were very friendly and warm. The mountains and trees and stars were there and I felt happy to be out of the city for some time.

Succeeding posts to delve a lot more deeply into individual aspects.
