And Package 2.0 moves ahead!
Returned from the post office yesterday, and it is sent via Air Mail to a certain Mr. Gabriel Ferret in Great Britain (they didn't have either England or UK in their computer!). Via bus to the state capital yesterday evening, then via plane to New Delhi today, and off to England tomorrow morning.
Funny coincidence - the bar code computer system used to ship overseas parcels has been implemented here only 2-3 days back! Before that there was only ordinary package post, with no guarantee of delivery to the other person. Guess it was because this place is deep inside Naxal-infested territory - they didn't trust any person sending a parcel out of here!
Finally I can send some other long-pending parcels! Some other people expecting a parcel from me for quite some time will be getting it within a week or two.
