hmm

So I am a step closer to becoming Josh Lyman from the West Wing. The question remains if I am a step closer to finding Josh Lyman from the West Wing to spend the rest of my life with! Hah. I know. I'm insane. My sister said " So does this mean you're going to be President of the United States and I had to say, "Regretfully no. The United States does not recognize the superiority of my birthplace, whose legitimacy is being contested over a 20 year civil war".

Just came back last night from the plantation sector, where we are also launching our girl's scholarship program. Met a bunch of women's groups and activists, specifically a well established NGO there that had published research on the sector and its unique problems of being labour associated with a very specific industry. Someone pointed out the other day that we are all of Indian origin, albeit settlers at different times, and why should the plantation sector population always be referred to as Tamils of Indian origin as opposed to the other Tamils in the country?

It is an interesting question.

And now I shall have to pick a policy area of concentration and I can't decide whether I want to concentrate on American electoral politics and campaign management or international development. Both have the potential to be singularly disillusioning.
