get the wor (l) d

Really. Finally, you're all thinking that this is absolute heat while you search with gloves Easter eggs in the snow. But in reality, here is a typical German summer is upon us.

It happened like this: first of all I was assured again and again that summer is from March here in Trivandrum and then actually going on the heat. It was previously unbearable, I figured with melting plastic traffic signs and ice cream-eating children who planned to join in the general hysteria with summer summer vacation.

To be honest, the kids are the only ones who have kept to the plan. You are on holiday and eating ice cream from time to time get updated very often, children birthday.

By contrast, the weather, which is German. It's raining. And rains. And makes a break. And then rain again. Sun can be beautiful but withstand the temperature, but what the hell I want with NEM motorcycle wenns rains here all the time? How should I administer lying around on the beach drinking cocktails and networking? I had presented my mind, really.

Well, after last week I was on NER techno party - yeah, about forty men and four women were present, along with two security guards and ten Uniformte waiter. The whole hotel roof cheer, well, I danced, I set up home - about 11pm was duly Feierabend - was rained on again.

But now I'm on track, but really want to write here that I hardly come out and actually can count the moments outside. Last Sunday, just driving here in the near to Villapilshaala, Sughata was here from Bangalore Ajurvedischen clinic in NER. And by chance there were a lot of buildings by Laurie Baker , impressive. And also great times to babble for a while with me Sughata ... Sure, people knew from the newspaper from the day before

Then again a week spent with meetings, meetings, sessions and discussions. The network to which I give here is to time as an IT consultant (!) My comment is really stark condition in NEM. Expectations and reality meet in a naked eye supernova to be seen together. Things like foo or blub then determine the evenings, does not produce truly Indian, was added.

And if even a real festival of great entertainment value is given, then the course will not take place in Kerala. Holi, the spring festival, where all beschmeißen each other with paint, get updated very often anywhere else, just not here. Well, at least hopefully get updated very often tomorrow colorful Easter eggs would be, aj, a colorful spring event. I'll definitely scan everything and report here.

The days ... run away, and sometimes I do not notice how much is moving.

First, and this news is now no longer new, the sad news reached me from Germany. Joseph Weizenbaum died a week and a half - one of those computer scientists who have shaped her work decisively my personal development. Once during my studies in computer science arose more and more doubts about the perfection of a brave new world of IT, he was the one who made it clear that literacy can be a basis for criticism and must. Several times I had the opportunity to experience Weizenbaum himself in Germany and its fun way to clarify its stance politically, to appreciate. He has dedicated his life to his ideals, and that was a good thing.

But back to India, where - as elsewhere probably - people with ideals misused for all sorts of things. Recently, on the way to the Institute where I try to reactivate the network degree, Gandhi campaigned for elite gardens. What would he think if he could see it? Presumably he would have to make a copyright on his image and at least made strong coal. Or not, who knows. Great, at least.

Great, and this time really and honestly, was my last press appearance . Came the other day with ner ne email requesting that I can give an interview for Nich the weekend supplement of 'Hindu'. If log press Fritzen I will of course skeptical, but the paper is good, probably the most useful daily newspaper here, so promised.

Then hit with that of Vishnu Gopal - I had recently met in Delhi - had about me. Networks. Function. And Vishnu is a pleasant fellow. He studied electrical engineering and writes for the newspaper by the way, in order to be able to later prove that he can once more electric than tinkering. And well he did that, wow. Okok, a few small details come out, but what the heck. And why I'm really bizarre spectacle ne?

It does not have to be said. I'm an atheist. Boring, nothing special. Actually.

But in the Indian Railways is already something special. In Indian Railways, ie those in which I have moved me. For two days, as compared with a ridiculous trip from Moscow to Siberia. and surprisingly different.

While I well Remember to alcohol consumption and the absolute bustle of traveling Russians ten / twelve years, and while I had presented the least busy just nothing like gabs.

Well, I remember even as Russian grannies knit socks and sell for five days until the half train Omis wears socks. And as the middle of the night - was the big deal is closed and at least two tons of melons from the train compartment was loaded, well, wenns the market wants ... - that was on the train to Uzbekistan

But not in India. Here there is order in the train from time to time people come over, who want to sell something, but actually the Indian Mitropa has everything under control. There is food to order for lunch and dinner. Coffee and tea and snacks in between it. And, as it should be in India, no trash. So, so I could learn, out of the window. All that remains left. (How do they do that actually in the class AC?)

This is it, the school of the nation. In fact, I once let me talk about bad conscience, to leave the aluminum-plastic mixture in Madhya Pradesh - after that I was the only one who has used a garbage bag. From a German production, do not even know whether the produce something like this ... Well, the tourist has just outed.

And nochwas special. No, not the heat, I could write about it, but that's nothing special. Especially, however, the mixture of religions, was right next to each other. Muslims who get out at regular intervals, the compass and find Mecca, Hindus, which I did not recognize in my area, and Christians, who make up a prayer on her bed, before sleep begins. And all the consideration for each other, as is necessary to hold such a small space. Wonderful.

Only a Priest, who spoke with me, could not believe it, that so many people in Germany are to be disbelieved. And I myself, indeed, to do nothing. At least not to mind, well, it's like explaining the best I? So, I pushed myself, did not try to convince the priest of the power of the individual and of Darwinism - but regardless of the peace took the train. What I know for what punishment to disbelief in Christians today, is burning?

Now I like but the interfaith movement , which we accidentally stumbled on the way to Delhi to freed.in conference - and right from the guru himself was welcomed ... but as I said, everything is gone well. And now I'm back in Trivandrum, two days, two nights, and then finally adding something a shower.
