Namaste, Veggies! | Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India | Page 3
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/page/3
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. It’s raining. The drops harass me on my ten minute walks to work, leaving my glasses with permanent water droplets. The sound of the rain and the dark skies are comforting to me. The rain means so much more than my personal annoyances and happy feelings, though. We live here on earth with all our destructive power, but still vulnerable and unable to do anything but beg for mercy from the rains. Let it rain, and relieve the misery. I finally ask...

Vegetable Market! | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/vegetable-market
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. As an avid participant in Farmer’s Markets back at home, both as a seller and a buyer, I was very excited to visit an Indian vegetable market. Before going to the market, I developed a questionnaire to conduct a survey of those selling vegetables (as part of my research). Overall, there were 7 females and 13 males. 17 of those interviewed grew their own vegetables. All but one used chemicals to raise their vegetables. The most commo...This mark...

Final Full Day! | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/final-full-day
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. Today had a few new adventures, as well as some built in tradition. I woke up early after a very small amount of sleep, and made a snap decision to go to the Catholic mass with Christen and Leah and the head of HR at ICRISAT. Mass was fascinating. After church, I packed. I barely managed to squeeze everything, but it worked out in the end thanks to Leah’s help! I think Charlie was pleased with his haul! Day to Day Activities. Trackback ( 0 ).

How Can I say Goodbye? | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/how-can-i-say-goodbye
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. How Can I say Goodbye? I can say “adios! 8221; to the mosquito bites, the mosquito net, the leaking bathroom, the traffic that (miraculously) hasn’t killed me. There are some things that I don’t feel ready to leave. India has taught me so much, but there’s so much more to learn and so much more to do. How can I say goodbye (maybe forever) to the people that have become my India family? My India family–Leah, Christen, Sarah, Charlie, and S...

Field Trip! | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/field-trip-2
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. Today, Christen, Leah and I had a trip arranged to visit with Pioneer/DuPont for the day. A driver picked us up a bit before nine and we headed out to a cotton field. There were many varieties from all over the world growing there, as well as the new hybrids for testing. We were given hats, umbrellas, and boots to wear (it was really rainy! They kept saying Johnston, and it took me a while to realize that they meant in Iowa! Trackback ( 0 ).

Favorite Things #2 | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/favorite-things-2
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. Sad but true fact the cost of my retainer is more than most Indians live on per month. It feels like a movie! They are pretty quick in the busy traffic since they are small and you can always find one (no guarantee that they will ask a reasonable price or know the place you want to go). One of my proudest moments in India was when I managed to get the autorickshaw down to the price that Indians pay (8 Rupees! Day to Day Activities. Leah is anot...

Saturday Adventures! | Namaste, Veggies!
https://clairegoestoindia.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/saturday-adventures
Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. This Saturday ended up being just about perfect! There are so many days like that here though! The morning was lazy and included organizing my room (let’s just say that entropy is having its way with my things), and talking to Leah! Leah and Christen check out one of the first stalls. We all got some good finds and used our newly acquired mad bargaining skills. Funny to think about how scared I was to bargain at first! Charlie bought Sarah and ...

Chronicles of Claire's World Food Prize Internship to India. The Idea Begins…. It was actually on the first day of the World Food Prize Symposium that I decided I was going to apply for a Borlaug-Ruan internship. And I finally got the materials off. To be honest, I thought it was kind of long shot. The World Food Prize Symposium 2009. When the Youth Institute rolled around on Saturday, I was again blown away, but this time by the other students presenting their papers on solving hunger. Molly is in Turkey.
