the great affair is to move...

Having lived in India for most of my junior year in college, I was recently awarded a fellowship to return. I am working with a community based women's non-profit in Gujarat, India. I'll be posting musings and thoughts on my adventures along the way. Check out AJWS - the fantabulous organization that's sponsoring my trip.

my sister came to visit

my sister laura came to visit a couple of weeks ago. she stayed for two weeks, and while it was very stressful for me, it was also wonderful.

i've been thinking about how to write about her visit, how to do justice to this relation of mine who is overwhelmingly complicated, confusing, and frustrating. and, at the same time, comfortably familiar, hysterically funny, and has proven to be an excellent companion when things get rough.

i'm still not sure how. but i was gently reminded by my sister that something should be posted.

a (complete) email i received from her this morning:

or, at least, update your blog with a mention of me in it (ie. . my sister came to visit. .. )

so, in lieu of a thorough note, or perhaps just while i collect my thoughts some more, please see the pictures i have posted (to the left, under 'lovely laura's look around') from her visit.

Two wonderful sisters. Two jewels. But which sister's hand is in the picture and which sister's nose??
