I'm getting stuck. Things seem to be going so slowly. And I'm scared. Should I have done something else? No. This is what I want to do. This is what I'm interested in. Then why does it seem as though all my avenues are closing in on me? I will hopefully be going to the village at the end of this week, or the beginning of the next. Bappa's gone to Assam for a workshop, and he'll be back on the 7th, post which, we will make a field trip. I really want to go to Phulia, now... I feel there'll be more to learn and see there.
Wish me luck.

One of the things I try to have going on projects is multiple aspects that I can plug into when one part stalls or something isn't working.
So...if you are doing a book, perhaps you can spend some time working on layout, textiles design for the cover, etc when the research isn't progressing. Setting up a dialogue between your research and product will be valuable in keeping the other moving.
