Hi Sylvia,
Just back from holiday and catching up on your posts particularly about the talk at the hospital. It reminded me of a lecture I attended as a student nurse when a mental health specialist asked for a show of hands on who was in nursing to change the world. Only one hand went up. Then we listened and participated for an hour on why we would not change the world BUT we could influence change. I think you have succeeded in influencing change which is a tremendous achievement and so glad you will be going back.
On another note I could not help but think the other week that Dhiren was looking down on us smiling. I remember coming round once and he was quite animated having read his magazine about India and the space race. Now I must admit I did not take it too seriously until the other week when India has a probe orbiting Mars and sending back Photo's at a fraction of the cost of other countries!! That will teach me!
