Photos, more barcamp, etc

[rhyll]

Some of Renee's photos from our protest here. (You could also do a flickr search for barcampbangalore5, if you wanted. Some of the less-bad photos of me are of me being an ubuntu user, a blogger, and an activist. There are also photos of Dinesh explaining that on the Internet noone knows you're a dog, Kingsley (in glasses), Ravi accompanying Dinesh's talk on the guitar, next to Renee, Renee sitting next to the Tall Girl, Kavita, some guy making good use of the mattresses and (for Liz!) The Opera Evangelist.) And no more complaints that I never show photos of people!

In other news: I've been writing (fiction, and a play, and my script), researching (the Indian Seed Bill), thinking (about where I want to go in life and what makes me happy), and drinking lots of tea.

Last night I went to the Art of Living ashram, which is disconcertingly vast. I think it might be nice to go back again sometime, but this trip was somewhat marred by a little anxiety attack. The singing is somewhat awesome, although I suspect I would get more out of it if I knew Sanskrit (?) and was better at either meditating or relaxing enough to dance.

Also, turns out I will be going to Dharwad (in the north of Karnataka) the day after getting back from Kerala. I get to take the overnight train hurrah!

yeah, I really want an ubuntu sticker for mine. At least I have a "barcamp bangalore 5" sticker for it, which feels pretty cool to me :)
