Notebook 14 (Jan 2010 – April 2010) is focused on fieldwork done in Boja Sai. Its ‚polished‘ notes are about activities at the household level (such as producing rice flour, rice-beer, harvesting rice, threshing it, drying it, guarding it, collecting firewood and red ants in the jungle, etc.), ritual cycles and translation sessions following a number of interviews. The notes try to grasp the lived reality of Ho hospitality and the relevance of the Ho’s social cosmos including avoidance and joking relations, ritual friendship relations (which eventually turned out to become a major focus of my book on the Ho, 2020/22) and the Ho’s (gendered) relations with their spirit world, their ancestors, gods and goddesses. Pedigrees recorded in Santal Sai and Boja Sai reached out as far as Jamda, Jamshedpur, Chaibasa and Ranchi and contributed to finding out more about the specific Ho social organization of miyad mandi chaturenko (The people of one ricepot). This notebook also reflects the challenges of fieldwork – illness, shifting collaborations, emotional strain
