Dr. S.L. Vaya, Director of the Institute of Behavioural Science at Gujarat Forensic Sciences Laboratory has agreed to meet with me. She has a wealth of relevant experience for my project including working as Assistant Director in the lie detector division for fifteen years. She also presented on “Indian scenario in Polygraph and brain electrical oscillation signature profiling tests” at the British Psychological Society in July 2008. So that's the Good news - but am I finally getting somewhere with the Indian leg of my trip? No. She says she will be away from 5th to 13th November, but would be happy to meet after she returns - by which time I'm in Bangalore! So that's the Bad news.
The reason for this? Yes I know it's going to come as a big shock after the title of this post... Diwali (or festival of lights) starts on 3rd November and goes on for 5 days and whilst I've very glad that I will get to experience it I am only happy about this if it doesn't mess with the fellowship!
I have just emailed Dr. Vaya to see if I could fly to Ahmedabad on Sunday and perhaps see her on the 1st and/or 2nd. Please could I ask anyone reading this to cross their fingers for me? I'm over 3 days in to my trip and I need to get some interviews in the bag!
