More often thought of as paradise for beach bums and scuba divers, the Andaman Islands are also a scientist’s playground, an alluring cache of uncharted island biodiversity. The archipelago lies about 1,200 kilometers from India in the middle of the Bay of Bengal.

Creatures of the Andaman deep

A full gallery of images from diving in the Andamans. All in one place. To accompany a story on India’s nascent diving industry, the unofficial headquarters of which is on Havelock Island, smack in the middle of the Bay of Bengal.

2009 kinda kicked ass
This past year pretty much rocked. And the New Year came in fine manner. No kisses, but a bonfire amid the palm trees (above), new friends, lobster, a decent cigar (thanks, C!), champagne and even the Harry Connick, Jr., band playing Auld Lang Syne at midnight (never leave home without the iPod).

Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under notes
Friends and readers:
I’ve been far more in touch with life back home (to the point of disrupting my sleep schedule) than I thought I would be. But as I depart Tuesday for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which officially will be the most remote I’ve ever been, it’s entirely possible that I will be abandoning electronic communication for a while.
As such, now begins the 2009 Mazaa Post Card Bindaas Giveaway. Limited time only. I promise everyone who sends me their address now will receive a wicked cool post card at some point in the near future.*
Send them via e-mail: ajadhav@gmail.com. Include an update on you and yours. (To qualify, you must do so, even if you already have previously.)
