The term 'I'm melting has suddenly taken on a whole new meaning! The temperature is up near forty somewhere and the humidity is high. We have started to use the local pool a lot more often, but even there you have to swim like a whale only coming up now and again for a breath of air. It's that warm that the pool water is warm. There are a number of other facilities in the club like a Jacuzzi, and wait for it - sauna and steam room. Over here you go into the sauna to cool off.
We had the launch of the sculpture on Sat. 21st. Sujata Sen the head of the British Council made the main speech and spoke very strongly about the work. We had a couple of musicians playing and Sister Cyril made a great speech. There was a good crowd at the launch, a very mixed bunch everything from dignitaries to those involved in radical organisations. There will be some new pics of that within the next few days. From tomorrow onwards my big problem is the process of immersing the work in the tributary of the Ganges.
Look at the images above and imagine in 40degrees. Some of the images of the sculpture arriving at the school.
Amongst others The Indian Express did a great article and pic, if you google Helix of Hope India it should come up.

Well done Raymie and all else involved in this work. Had a good look at photos's of sculpture and am going to forward the link around. Really impressive.
What's all this immersion mullarky about?
Maith an fear Raymie!
So it's hot ye reckon, missing the rain the ole cold wind and I suppose the Guinness isn't quite up to scratch out there either...
Well, what the hell did you expect... SNOW!
We had snow St. Paddy's day... it was blooming freezing for the parade.. but then again we did have one idiot dressed up as Santa, maybe the one that was best dressed for the occasion.
It's great to see the photo's on the blog, I'll have to drop in now and again to keep in touch. Powerfull work and I like to hear all about the Hindu gods and goddesses. Brilliant sculture and Bobby Sands had to have his say too>

Dia duit Raymie, can't wait to see you all again - even you - give the 3 cailins a big hug each for me. You'll probably find it cool when you get home even though we've had the best spring ever. Not long now, so looking forward to the homecoming
Slan, gra go deo
