I went to Guwahati as a part of an EMI team, to do a survey and master plan for Trinity College and Seminary. It was a hectic packed week; We visited the site, and stayed in town for a whole week to work on the design and made a presentation to the client at the end of the week. Above is the panoramic view of the 3-hectare site, which is located near the Guwahati airport.
Knee deep in cow-dung-ed mud field. This land was formerly a rice paddy field, and it gets inundated with water after the monsoon.
Our surveyor quickly drew up the site's topography, but we didn't have a printer, so we scaled and plotted the survey co-ordinates on grid paper manually by hand.
We had a BIG rainstorm, and thunder struck the power transformer of our building and we were in the dark for a while. Luckily, the mobile internet still works, and we were able to make a video Skype call to the client with the laptop on battery power! Watching the Jonathan on spotlight from the dark makes me feel like am in a radio studio or a drama theatre. This photo made it to the eMI South Asia newsletter, the Indian Thread.
