Back in town
I'm really sleepy so this should be short.
After a sweltering week in delhi i rushed to the hills in June, and spent an eventful month. Punctuated by rain of the worst kind and ensuing floods, the stay was nonetheless, great. Met my relatives (ALL 100,000 of them), sat on my ass in my house in the village for almost three weeks doing nothing but reading and eating wonderful home-cooked food. An average day in the village is as follows:
8am, wake up
by 9am, finish breakfast
9-noon-- take my comfy chair outside (except when it rained) and read/listen to music
noon--2pm- help prepare food, eat lunch
2-5-- resume another session on the aforementioned chair
5-7-- take a walk in the forest/up to the road/to the village
7-9-- The whole dinner thing
10pm--off to sleep listening to music or the bbc world service
Armed with a digicam and the laptop, i went crazy with photography. Some of which is pretty good too. Will post pics once back on broadband.
Delhi's still quite hot. But not that bad. The asian film fest is on this week, and i went to a vietnamese movie this evening, which turned out to be fairly decent. Have already marked the schedule for the next 3 days. It does, however, take some effort to convince good old friends to come out to the fest. Today i talked one into accompanying me, and coaxed a promise out of her to do the same tomorrow. So far so good.
Always up for travelling, I'm leaving with some friends all the way down to Pondicherry next week.
By train, my favorite transport mode. The farther the better...
