I wonder if you're familiar with the work of <A HREF="http://www.iserp.columbia.edu/people/venkatesh.html" REL="nofollow">Sudhir Venkatesh</A> at Colombia University, whose work was highlighted in the bestseller Freakonomics. He made this film called <A HREF="http://dislocationfilm.com/soundimage.html" REL="nofollow">Dislocation</A> as well.Samirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898587139704390716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-27292656350604775372007-07-21T18:07:00.000+05:302007-07-21T18:07:00.000+05:30Samir, thanks.

But it may fit into another project I'm trying to get off the ground (which those US travels were about), and if it flies, I'll thank you for the reminder, as well as for the pointer to the report.<BR/><BR/>The name, incidentally, is not "Dinesh"...<BR/><BR/>csm, a good thought, but again, I don't know enough. It is a question I'll try to ask the right people at some point, though.Dilip D'Souzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221707482541503243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-48530532305791544722007-07-19T09:49:00.000+05:302007-07-19T09:49:00.000+05:30dilip - after yesterday's borivali building traged...dilip - after yesterday's borivali building tragedy, i just wonder how safe/secure the new SRA buildings will be.<BR/>already there must be over 1000 SRA buildings in the city and i just pray that the builders have not jeopardised the strength of the structures. we are in a seismic sensitive zone already.csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557461643577046017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-78436663195661243002007-07-18T14:27:00.000+05:302007-07-18T14:27:00.000+05:30My name is Saudamini Singh Bagai, and I am a stude...My name is Saudamini Singh Bagai, and I am a student at the <BR/>University of Chicago. At the moment I am doing research on <BR/>the health seeking behaviour of Indigenous tribes for an NGO <BR/>called 'Apne Aap'. During the course of my research I came <BR/>upon your book, Branded by Law. In the book you have quoted <BR/>from The Underworld of India by Sir George McMunn. I was <BR/>wondering where one could locate a copy of that book? I <BR/>have looked in the Parliament library and haven't come up <BR/>with anything. Any leads on that book would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-55471815768112165892007-07-18T05:33:00.000+05:302007-07-18T05:33:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Samirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898587139704390716noreply@blogger.com
