Just talked with Dr. Samaresh in Kolkata, looked at the flights to Silchar and Imphal. Still don't know the geography of the Northeast that well, but now seems best that we stay in Kolkata, Albert Road from 26th October to August 1st.

The trip from Australia to Kolkata will be about 20-hours. That is the best ticket we could find, so our body will be at deaths door, and then five nights in Kolkata will be good. Then ... August first we go to ..... Imphal (?Silchar?) and stay there until 4th morning, three nights. Everyone who really needs to see us can load their camels in advance and travel to Imphal.

   Clip-clop!  Clip-clop!  Clip-clop!

Next visit if it is like this then we go to Silchar instead of Imphal.

How does this seem to your good selves?  Speak now or forever hold your peace.

We must be sure that Rtu-raja Das and everyone who wants to can come and be accomodated. Maybe we can even allocate some funds for camel food.

What will we do while we are there?  We can have a Nectar of Instruction seminar for all three days and that will allow us to talk about EVERYTHING in Krsna consciousness in a very systematic fashion. We could record all the questions and comments. Also, can we meet with cultural and academic leaders during the day? Maybe have a colloquia on "Presenting Bhagavata Culture in the Western World: "Hamlet and Arjuna", "Science, Psyche and Spirituality - Prof. Carl Jung and the Mysticism, Music and Dance of the Bhagavata"". We can engage these experts in our magazine "Solaris", our movie, "Art and the Sacred", and even developing educational exchange programs with South America.

I just spent 30-minutes researching the flights and there appears to be an Indigo ticket that we can use at noon on the 1st and 11AM on the 4th, but we need to buy within next two days!
