As I sit before my computer, still in Kilburn, North London, I find it hard to imagine that in 4 days time I will be in New Delhi. The items for packing are piled behind me and most of the paper work, injections and purchases have been dealt with. However I still have a sneaking feeling that something has been left undone.
Maybe it is thought about what we will actually do once we are there, once we have booked transport to take us higher into the mountains to begin this important Hindu Pilgrimage. I have a new video camera, yes, but what will I film? Adrian, my partner has a new digital sound recorder, but what will there be for him to tape. A lot, if our experiences in India are anything to go by, maybe too much.
As well as just experiencing being in the mountains at the source of Indias most sacred rivers, what will this journey mean, in terms of ongoing research? This is all ahead for us to discover.I feel daunted, and nervous and very very exited.
