In case you were wondering where I get the time to write these posts, the simple answer is I have no life.
I enjoy my research and colleagues at the NRCC immensely, and they have done a wonderful job making me feel welcome. But my interactions with most scientists and staff remains formal. Jitu and I get along fantastically, but he is a very busy person and we don't really get the chance to relax. And when I hang out with other Indians, the language barrier is still too large to allow for the fun and jokes that make for good times. For some social release I can turn to the tourists who pass through the guesthouse, but they're usually only around for a day or two.
So there's no real way for me to just waste time chilling. It's something I'm going to miss, for sure, but it also means I'm staying plenty busy with research and writing.
