Heading to Thar:
Lack of education has put these kids in the fields in the time of school. So is lack of agriculture science which has lead these women to work much more harder
AT&T picked my house - and the old utility easement in front of it - as the first stop in their build-out to expand high speed internet and video service. Fiber Optic bundle will go to a rather large (4 ft square by 5 foot box with attached heat pump on 6 ft slab) DSLAM box.
Only problem is... their maps are wrong! They were wrong 20 years ago, and they are still wrong!
They notified me by a letter dated 2/19/2007 that I received on Friday, 3/2/2007! The letter didn't say when digging would begin or what equipment would be installed. Knowing the problems from installation 20 years before (I had to stand in front yard, refusing to move, until the agreed to move the location!), I tried calling them over the weekend, but, of course, no one was home at their office. I left a message.
By the time they'd called me back, left a message and I was able to talk to them at lunch the following Monday, it was 1pm and the hole seen here was dug and ready for step 2.
Needless to say, I was furious! Ever try and find an attorney who'd take a case against AT&T on contingency? Good luck!
They have since moved it to the other (west) side of the existing box, but my yard is still a mess and the driveway's less-than-2-year-old gravel surface chewed up pretty good.
Despite my extreme anger over the way this was conducted, I never bothered to mention I was chairman of the Cable TV Advisory Committee of Beloit. Their letter never mentioned video services as part of this construction, but that's what this is about - bring video service over telephone lines to compete with Cable franchises. As long as it's called "communications service" they can build under existing grandfathered right-of-ways. If they mention video, they enter an whole 'nuther regulatory environment and open a can of worms they expect to see superceeded with new regulations before too long. (Wisconsin is expected to consider and pass such legislation soon... unless the hapless feds do it first.)
This ain't over yet... not by a long shot.
From Khuri, just outside Jaiselmer, we made a camel safari into the desert to watch the sunset and the sunrise ( I've never seen so many sunrises before as on this trip so far..).
A beautiful scene of thar village.The Thar Desert , also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a desert located in western India and southeastern Pakistan. It lies mostly in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and extends into the southern portion of Haryana and Punjab states and into northern Gujarat state. In Pakistan, the desert covers eastern Sind province and the southeastern portion of Pakistan's Punjab province. In Pakistan's Punjab province it is known as the Cholistan Desert. Tharparker District of province Sindh Pakistan is also a part of Thar desert. Thar Desert's Total area is about 200,000 sq km. The Thar Desert is bounded on the northwest by the Sutlej River, on the east by the Aravalli Range, on the south by the salt marsh known as the Rann of Kutch (parts of which are sometimes included in the Thar), and on the west by the Indus River. Its boundary to the large thorny steppe to the north is ill-defined. Depending on what areas are included or excluded, the nominal size of the Thar can vary significantly

When Mahindra had launched Thar, it had knocked out the all jeeps in India. Mahindra Thar is great utility vehicle and runs smoothly on all type of roads. For more information please visit www.mahindra.com/What-We-Do/Automotive/Products/Thar
...that was what we had to shout out once we spotted a whale spewing out water as it exhaled.
Hopefully on our next whale watching adventure we'll get closer look at one of these gorgeous mammals.
A long while ago I bough this SeaWorld killer whale sippy cup thing.
Tonight I got rid of it.
Cheers.
Belly button is pretty much flush with my tummy. I think it will poke out by the end of pregnancy. Check out the awesome stretch marks!
Impressions from a camel ride south of Jaisalmer.
During a break the camels were eating the leaves of the trees.
This is from my record, a scanned image from 2005 trip to Gorhi with my MAJU friend, Muhammad Adeel. These kids were heating up on a chilling January morning. (2005)
So, I know I started this 365 project because I take too many pictures of my cat. But. Today he was digging in my purse, where for some reason I had put kind of a crumpled sheet of star stickers. I found them in my craft cabinet during the Great Purge of '11, and for some reason thought to take them to work. But the sheet got all crumpled up, and the stickers fell off, and now there are a million star stickers loose in my purse. So Bea's rolling around in there, and eventually he emerged with stickers all over him. He flipped out, and got the majority of them off, except for this one. Hilarious.
Yeah I know I should just give up on these narrative illustration things but they are just way too much fun. So forget it. I'll do them whether you like it or not.
The common life style in Thar is based on joint family system. All three generations; grand-parents, parents and children prefer to live under one roof. However, the men and women have divided out-door and domestic responsibilities among themselves according to their ages and skills. Main duties of the men in the family are ploughing the fields, animal-grazing, weaving and house-construction or other money-earning actvities whereas the women responsibilities include bringing water from the well or pond, cooking, washing, maintenance of house, thread-making, embroidering, knitting etc. The money earned through any means by anyone is the common property of the family
