The conference started properly today after months of organisation. I've shamelessly stolen this photo from the set our photographer took of the event. It's big: over 950 delegates and 100 speakers over three days. That's my boss at the podium, along with our chief guest, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and various other VIPs. There's more information about it here if you're interested.

DAY 711
Another one from Delhi even though I'm in Hyderabad today. This Hitchcockian mural is just round the corner from the one I posted on Day 695. Murals seem to be a bit of a thing at the moment in Delhi. Notice the tree in bloom behind ... the season where Delhi bursts into flower is almost upon us.

DAY 692
Election Day in Delhi today. Looks pretty likely that the big parties are going to lose out to the smaller Aam Aadmi Party who also got elected last year but then decided to walk out in a huff 50 days in to their term because no one wanted to pass their anti-corruption bill. They're hoping for a majority this time, in which case it will be interesting to see what they manage to achieve.
Elections and holidays are notable in India for being 'dry' - no alcohol can be sold in shops, restaurants or bars. Shops like this one help to give us advance notice for stocking up ...

DAY 686
Today we finally made it to the organic farmers' market - we've been meaning to go for months. We bought two avocados and some chard. I've never had any luck with avocados in India - they're always rock hard and then they just go black. But apparently the way to ripen them is to wrap them in brown paper and then submerge them in dry rice ... so we're trying it. Will report back.
