Journal 10-6-2010

In the morning on Wed I spent most of the day reading and trying to come up with a concrete project proposal to present to the research committee at 3:00. The presentation went well, the director made some suggestions that change the focus of my project from comparing a population in the US and in India to comparing two different groups within a Indian village population. As a result my project will now focus on two groups field workers / coolie (laborers) and desk job / shop keepers. After the research meeting John and I went into town where we meet up with Kanav and S.K at Sanjay’s shop. S.K has a car and we drove into Vellore. On the way back we stopped at Big Chick and picked up some chicken burgers and fried chicken for dinner. Then we went back to Kanav’s house and hung out until it was really late.

eventually S.K and Kanav dropped us off at Karigiri.

We played a bunch of our favorite music and they really liked it. Now Kanav wants to download the contents of my Ipod.
