I was pleased with the first set of interviews that came back but realised that I was not really getting as much useful information as I could in a short interview. The following is a revised version the first one. The forms are all given in English but interviewers have one copy with Urdu translation. It is an Urdu translation rather than a Punjabi translation for the time being since everyone tells me Punjabi is too difficult to write (meaning they never write in Punjabi). The last question (Why do you think a foreigner is living in the village?) was a last minute addition. I have heard a few strange explanations of why I'm here so wondered what the range of explanations might be.
