Ingrid Eckerman

Today, I arrived at home, feeling confused as usual - here is silent, clean, cold, empty.

I spent a lot of time with my family. They needed that. The balance between different parties of the family has been totally changed since my "sister" passed away. I will not write any details here.

Also my "granddaughter" Fairy needed me. The family in which she is supposed to marry seems kind, they are distant relatives, and they like her. But they are not at the intellectual level that she is already and will become if she goes to university. I am very sorry that this is already decided.

Other things I did was to visit the Chingari trust, working with handicapped children from the gasaffected and polluted areas in Bhopal. I tried to give as good advises as I could - I am not an expertise in this field.

The heat was terrible. I hope I will never have to go to India this time of the year. If it was under 40 centigrades, the air was very humid, so it was difficult anyhow.

I had no problems to enter India - but when I came to the airport to go home I was stopped by the immigration authorities. On the computer was a red square "Banned from all entries from India ...". They did not understand how I could have entered two weeks ago, without any problems. Maybe the office in Delhi finally has made a decision concerning my visa application from September?

I wrote an e-mail from Bhopal to the ambassador and got a kind reply. I hope he will help me to get visa in the future.
