A says she sees some parellels between how Sudhir Alladi describes the Chicago “underground” economy and SL economies…

hmmm - I’m not sure I agree myself but can be made to see why she thinks so I am sure

well I am going today - so can discuss this f2f (or cellphone to cellphone locally) at length later this week.
Looking fwd to the “Dhaaram” (thread) shop opening on 10th!

{btw do check out all my shops on SL as well}

Since I will be there only two weeks (thanks to my grad coordinator duties for the summer….) I wont get to the rural areas this time - but the urban Dastkar Andhra work continues. Looking fwd to some more arguing matches with A, S, Sh - shopping for handloom (and SL textures!) with L and A…

Of course - also looking fwd to meeting the rest of the family!
(heh heh;-))

When I get back - I will revise the book proposal on the new SL related book and also finish up the final bits on the edited collection.
