The story so far...
This is my first ever blog, and what better place to start writing it than in OR2K, an Israeli restaurant in Kathmandu, Nepal. The food here is great, and comes highly recommended. All the tables are low (ideal for slouching), and there is a wide open window at the back which gives the illusion of clean air, away from the dirty streets of Thamel, the tourist hub of Kathmandu. (The streets are even dirtier elsewhere in the city.)
As I indulge in a plate of shakshuka (eggs cooked in tomato sauce), I'll start with my itinerary so far.
5th July: arrived in Bombay!
7th July - 28th August: internship at Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand as part of the Tata International Social Entrepreneurship Scheme (TISES) 2009
