Wow -long time !

Man,
its been a while since I put something up here. hmm, I guess I have been quite lazy :-D

Ok- once again lots of updates however I am going to restrict to bullet points and talk in detail about one of them - Tech-connect!

1. back in the US, still no real work in cap1 so enjoying free money. Quite nice :)
2. Lots of developments in personal life, will talk about them soon - sorry for the cryptic msg, but thats all I am putting up for now.
3. Medical Excursions is chugging along. Not really doing great guns right now - lets see what happens. There is still a lot of potential and am looking forward to do something with this.
4. Tech-connect: now this is the one i will talk more than a bullet point about...

Tech-connect is a Not for profit organization I am trying to create which connects the engineering institutions with the grass root level to create innovative technological solutions for basic problems.

A tall order I agree, but we are starting it off. The first few projects we are starting off with are
- bio diesel plant: convert used vegetable oil into diesel which can be used in any machinery. This diesel is cleaner and significantly cheaper.
- Microhydel power: use small waterfalls, streams in the mountaineous regions to create electricity

I am currently working with Meenakshi ( a friend from IIT) and the able volunteers of AID (the NGO from an earlier post). I am hoping I would be able to make this happen and am going to work hard towards it.

Thoughts anyone ?
