18 may-last day at work

Today was my last official day in the Arghyam office. Time passes so quickly! Almost no one was in office today from the Grants Team. Amrtha is studying for exams, others are traveling or just home for the day so there wasn't much of a 'goodbye' feel in the air. I finished up my report, but haven't done the timeline yet. It details the various government schemes on a national level relevant to rural water and sanitation. The second half of the report focuses on schemes implemented at the state level in Gujarat for similar purposes.

I am actually amazed at how much I have learned. When I go home and tell people about this internship, it'll be a neat one-liner "a group focused on clean rural drinking water and sanitation" but there is so much that is involved in everything in this world. By the end of this experience I was understanding the presentations I sat in on at a much deeper level. I knew what questions I should be asking and I knew where to look for the information I needed. I love that type of learning- the quiet kind that sneaks up on you when you're having fun! crazy!

It was very sad to be on the bike for the very last time. We took a different route home and Srikanta gave me a card. I will miss the bike rides a lot! How can driving be exciting after this
