In heaven...with cobras

3/7 Another day of inactivity followed the first. This time the excitement of the day was a 20 minutes football game following a 15 minute ride of terror on the back of a motorcycle through the sand. How do the two relate, you ask? Well you see, the football required a trip into the central...

here there be monsters

3/6 I have arrived at the internship site, a small village called Jenu-Gagadi an hour and a half Jodhpur that will be home for the next six weeks. Don't try to find it on a map cause it aint anywhere labeled. I have never lived rural-aside from camping or at my cabin- like this before. It’s...

tea cups make the heart grow fonder

3/4/08 The legendary heat of India is beginning to rear its ugly head. And just as most places don’t have heat, most don’t have air conditioning, which changes the meaning of what is to be hot compared to the US. They say that this is just warm weather. Sunita warns us that it will no doubt...

India.. the jokes she pulls

3/2/08 I’ve neglected to say what I’ve been actually doing this weekend. On Friday our class Field trip was to go see Tare Zamee Par. It’s a Bollywood movie with a very predictable plot but very moving and, since Aamir Khan is in it, well done. Then Sarah and I went off to crossword where we...

homesick or hoppin town?

3/1/08 The days are dwindling, there are only 6 weeks left and just 3 weeks of travel time. Oh my god, I can’t go home for more than a month and a half? It’s a very conflicting feeling, the way time moves while abroad, and it switches daily if not from minute to minute. The feeling is...

Packing it away

2/28/08 I went jogging this morning(that means I got up at 7:15!) and of course proceeded to buy a samosa on the way back...but that’s beside the point. Along the way I saw Indian woman jogger for the first time! It was so gratifying; we made eye contact, she smiled and gave a brief thumbs...

on the streets

2/24/08 My first weekend spent here in Jaipur. As whenever I suddenly have much free time, I feel antsy like I should be out doing something…But I really can think of to do useful now is study or read. Hmm.. Special musing/bitching for the day: are Indians friendly people? I just can’t...
