Remembering Andamans . . .

There was something unfortunate in our vernacular daily today. Later, I found out that it was all over in the international press. 

A significant shift in a stand leaning more towards primary healthcare and public health happened in me during a 6 month posting in Andaman soon after the Tsunami in December 2004. I was part of the initial disaster response team sent from EHA. 

Well, the first reaction you have of that place is the amazing beauty of the islands. I hope to share few of the snaps I took during the 6 months. I know that the snaps are too assorted. Unfortunately, I'm sure that I'll take quite a lot of time to sort them out . . .  So, kindly excuse . . .
