Mumbai is huge and full of people. This is my first time visiting. There was a snowstorm in DC and this led to me missing connecting flights and getting redirected through multiple carriers to finally arrive in Mumbai.

I and Danielle, the other researcher, have been preparing paperwork so that we can begin paperwork.

I attended Gay Pride in Seattle 2008 as a presenter in the non-profit section of the expo. I was representing Sanjeevani Booti as an American agent and I was trying to raise awareness and get social support for issues relating to HIV in India. I talked about Benares. I told people that it was the […]

Nandan and I talk about Sanjeevani Booti continuously. This is the name for the HIV NGO which we are founding. The website is up. Nandan did not know what AIDS was before, and now he knows the basics. He has probed the community for similar organizations and we know what exists. He has talked with […]
