Return to New Era High School

The last three posts on my return to Panchgani have manged to generate some interest in my humble blog, bringing many first time visitors and mention on couple other websites, including Baha’i Views and WordPress.com.   If you haven’t checked out the Sureka Trilogy, here it is in order with a couple of new photos added courtesy of Marjan Bachelor

TheSearch for Sureka II – In which the search takes place

TheSearch for Sureka III – In which the search concludes  

The return to Panchgani was mostly about locating Sureka, but it was also do walk down memory lane to some of the places that were most significant to my family while we were living there 11 years ago.

On my first day I managed to hit the school Marjan, my sister and I went to, our old house and then New Era Teacher Training Centre where my parents worked.  I will post the rest of these photos over the next few days. 

A new Baha’i Youth Year of Service story is unfolding RIGHT NOW on the blog Chelsea In India about a youth from Atlanta who has been serving there since August – who I actually met.   

Go to my flickr site now to see a set of photos and memories from New Era High School as well as some new ones in honour of Sunday morning’s departure of Peter Ralevic, my co-worker and the only other Canadian in the city.
