From Calcutta to Darjeeling……

July 6, 2012

Well actually from Kurdistan to Ukraine , Zambia, Congo and New Zealand; not quite doing our work of healing but that’s some of the destinations our equipment is destined for today. And we love it. Give us more! Different countries require different paperwork, licenses and inspections. Whoever said the world was getting smaller?

And while preparing and packing the equipment we visualise the places where the goods will be arriving and the people whom I have met who will receive them; the searing heat of the deserts, or the humid tropical air. The noise, bustle and the colours. That’s what I remember most of these places; the colours and the smell. To me even the smell of downtown Kolkata brings sweet memories.

Thank you all for your continued interest in our equipment and services and a huge well done to the research facilities in the UK who are working so hard to secure projects across the globe. Without your efforts where would we be?
