On Border Crossings: Silly invisible line, isn't it!

From Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, comes the blogger Holy Mariner. Here is a pic, a cutline, and his "About Me." -gw

This one is taken in Bhutan in January 1999. We had gone on a teaching trip right after the Vision 2000 conference. We are holding hands over the India-Bhutan border. Ajay and Fairy are in Bhutan, Sahar and I are in India. Isn't that awesome? An invisible line, that's all! And yet nations go to war for that invisible line! Silly, isn't it? :-)

About Me: Where can one begin? Born in the Land of Ta, grew up in a little town in the mountains of Iringa, Tanzania. Spent childhood and early teens exploring the wilds of Africa. Went to the Land of the Indus Valley for college, did electronics engineering and computer multimedia. City called Nagpur -- lovely but HOT in the summers! Traveled most of the length and breadth of India in early adulthood on various Baha'i projects and with a choir and performing arts group. Best days of my life! :-) Returned to Iringa, Tanzania in 2003, taught primary and secondary level mathematics, computer skills, music and sports. That was super in itself -- I love working with children especially! Fresh, young, innocent minds, free from selfishness, motive, prejudice and greed, vices that afflict so many "adults" in these modern materialistic days. Now in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, working with a business machines company in Customer Care.
