Good morning my omniscient readers. It's a fresh windy day today. The weather, in the words of E, is romantic - absolutely perfect for a bollywood love song in the gardens of the Patna zoo. It makes no difference once you reach office though. Its an airtight box of sorts, air conditioned - sometimes chilly. The internet works, most of the times. Its almost like we've been transported to a different world.

I'm about to resume work on my report. Its on all sorts of research opportunities that are available in Bihar, mapped to the various research areas. I'm done with Agriculture and Infrastructure and Urbanization.

Today's agenda -

1. Complete the following sections :

• Governance, Accountability and Political Economy
• Climate change, Natural Resources and Environment
• Human Capital

2. Work on the slides for the presentation and also.. call Prof C to find out whether I can use the slides at all. What a colossal waste all of yesterday's effort shall be - if the laptop isnt available.

Thats about it for now.

Cheers!
