Woke up listening to the clamor of vehicles from the crowded streets. Its nearing 7.15 Am, i need to meet Mr.PeterBranney of DFID to make arrangement's for getting permission for doing research in the High altitude tree line areas. Breakfast was of typical Indian dish and cut fruits. Mr.Jospeh drove me to the Office of DFID. The roads were busy with morning life and huge rush were there in the buses and Taxis. Mr.Branney was very pleased to meet me, he pointed out some of the lacuna's in my study and suggested to rectify those. After meeting some of the top officials of DFID, i went to meet Ms.Chanda, she took me to the nearest Bazaar for buying some warm clothes and necessary stuffs for my journey. The DFID people were very friendly in nature. By evening i made all arrangements for my Journey to Sankuwasaba. Mr.Sahim Ansari was the official who was employed to help me in my research, by late evening i got a call from Mr.Sahim. He gave me a short description about the real situation in the high altitude areas and the hidden dangers on the way. Some of his words which reverberated in my mind " be prepared to survive in a world with no civic facilities". The evening was getting cold, i went back to Paradise hotel. The receptionist with her sweet native accent wished me " hello Sir, Good evening".. you were having a call from home, please call back. Felt like i'm not in a strange world, i felt more comfortable than the day before.
