I took this picture in #Kachchh, #Gujarat in 2008, just when the wind turbines started dotting the landscape, some of them overlooking this pond from which women were collecting #water. Couldn't think of a better image than this to begin my talk with today.

Been keeping lockdown diary in Kachchh, Gujarat since the first one started on 25 March. Mostly random observations but also related to research on disaster recovery/cascades.
My #lockdownindia tweets 1/21. Walk at the farm to distance social media. Today is a cloudy & moist day here in South Kutch. Almost ripe wheat, so no rain please! Hoping to do some planting later today myself. #longtermrecovery #gujaratearthquake2001 @helsinkiuni @SocSciHelsinki

At least in Kachchh the vaccination and medicine kit is free of cost. Getting very confused of tweets claiming charges - is it for private hospitals?
