Introduction	Saw Stanes off through her 100th year in Coonoor, got a degree in agriculture and worked for AVT in the plantations. Like a mid-life crisis a Commonwealth Fellowship lead me to the UK for MSc, then back to India to grow and process vegetable crops. Much as I enjoyed working for the companies and accumulated friends I looked for something different. Three years later I got another scholarship for a PhD, also in the UK. I am now trying to establish a consultancy firm for agricultural and rural development, to begin to give back to India and the third world what I got from them..
Favorite Movies	Sound of Music, am in queue for a ticket to the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical
Favorite Music	Rick Wakeman's piano (until the next one comes along). And Kundrakudi Adigalar - violinist - Carnatic music
Favorite Books	now Kiran Desai, but I would have liked a different ending - like Sai getting married to Gyan and living happily ever after or at least Father Booty going back to India and living happily ever after with his cows!!
