In the deepest waters...

Our telescope has been shown to be completely operational: the so-called 'first light'. This means there will be further rush to test equipment and keep observing. Already various people have submitted requests of their fav sources, and demand time.

However, most of the astronomy and support scientist staff is on leave due to vacation period. I am alone supposed to manage support activities. Given my poor prep, this is akeen to throwing a child in the deepest end to learn swimming. Oh well, I will drink a lot of water, but I will learn to swim the hardest way! :-)

Who am I ?

Just noticed, that the local town-hall registration letter lists me as "Burger van India". It does not mention if that came with 'Kabab sauce' or `Green Chutney' ;-)

Just to remind you, I was an `alien' in Canada.

Some more picckies !

The other day I took a short walk around to click some pics using Francisco's mobile phone camera. Just to give you an idea of the serene surroundings.

my guest house room


Evening chai table


wooded areas around




Passing through the woods are the cycle paths



Just around the jungle are flat pasture lands



And cyclists go just about everywhere!



Turning back to the dish, which is right in front of the above bike path (behind my back)
