So I set up my Facebook, hoping to do some creative writing (can one create on the keyboard?), but it turns out that it's mostly for reading other people's walls and looking at pictures. That's fun, but I still want to do some creative writing, and my ESL students have to set up blogs for their holiday homework (what an oxymoron!), and the Development Office is asking for blogs, so I decided to go along with it and set one up. I'm nervous about keeping up with it, but one of my new year's resolutions this year was to keep in better touch with people that mean a lot to me...
I've named my blogspot Himalayan Highway because I'm back at Woodstock School in Mussoorie after let's-just-say 30 years, a road I've been subconsciously following for 25 years. It's also a symbol of the speed of development in India right now--there are traffic jams on Mullingar Hill regularly--and the speed of life here at school, and also progress towards some undefined larger than myself goal in my life. In case you needed to know...
You're like a different kind of Ruskin Bond... (The traffic jams on Mullengar Hill part reminded me of that book he wrote that I read this summer - Roads to Mussoorie. SO GOOD)
