An amazing thing (among many!), at least for me, happened during the fieldwork our group had for The Workshop 2015 (19th Praxis Commune for Participatory Development), In Bangalore, India. The facilitators wanted at least each of the four foreign participants to join different groups. I was luckily made part of this awesome group composed of Shaiju, Nidhi, Nancy, Nitin, and Afsar. Shaiju proposed for the group to be named Phil-Indies, marrying the names of the two countries represented.

Welcome to the rest of my life

What’s so special for me about tomorrow, September 21? I can think of a number of things.
