a snack of fried chilis for the walk
The last night in Thanjavur has fallen upon 14 TPS students scrambling...err, gracefully and knowledgeably putting together their implementation and evaluation plans for their respective interventions. So, busy busy we are...
Luckily Audra and a few of our ICTPH colleagues, Subha, Deepak and Arun, caught a break yesterday and visited Kallanai. About an hour away, it's home to a pretty impressive dam built by a Chola king around the first century--one of the oldest operational infrastructure pieces in the world. The dam itself is a long walk, surrounded by lovely lush greens, sands, and...you guessed it, water. Enjoying the breeze and hearing the waves and rapids running through the locks was incredibly peaceful. And perhaps the most cool AND quiet I've experienced since being in Thanjavur. A nice time to reflect on all the city has offered to us and how that experience will inform the next steps...
