Ready For Kargil

On Saturday I will be flying to Delhi and then on to Leh. I have three weeks (more or less) to carry out the fieldwork for my work on Balti cultural revival. I'm looking forward to meet Gulzar in Kargil again. He has been very helpul and supportive of my project. I would have been nowhere without him. I also look forward to stay at Oriental in Changspa, and to finally meet Sonam Joldan whom I have been in email contact with for a while.

Still waiting for my visa, though, and now the airport staff is threatening to go on strike )-:
