Yesterday was Jiigisha's birthday....I was not the least bit excited becoz well it seemed a bit immature and I don't make that big a deal of my birthday...would not do anything if not for friends....anyways Hardo got her a gift hamper so she was thrilled. Then we had lectures all day and were basically busy. Yesterday it rained all day and was cold and chilly...temperatures are about 8 degress or so now....and its bloody windy. Our lectures yesterday were interesting...in the lecture on Dharawi I did a lot of talking about the history of Bombay and the re-naming of the city to Mumbai. In the next lecture on Blake , we had this abso immature and bizarre presentation by a supposedly erudite student...Saima and I had a tough time keeping a straight face...we came up with very valid points of discussion later. A whole load of students came up to us yesterday to talk to us...so it seems we shall make some more friends besides Hardo..thank god!!!
We came home and racked our brains about dinner coz it was raining and the restaurants near by were shut...there was next to no grocery left..no sugar also!! Finally made a mixed bhaji..later Jigisha produced Apple pie and Choc pastry...the pie was delicious..since only Hardo and I liked it...I got to eat Jigisha's and Saima'S share as well...crazy two to prefer the choc pastry which is really so common..OK Geets's Bitchy side surfaces again!!! LOL!!!
Hardo had to leave then coz his l'amour beckoned...so after that we three went out for a stroll and coffee. I discovered that a glass of wine costs the same as a cappucino and less than a mochiatto...so next time I'm drinking wine....speaking of wine, tonight we are going to Prof Breunig's home for literary discussions over pizza and wine..looking forward to it...defi the pizza and wine if not the discussions...hahaha!!!
Today was an OK day...we had a meeting with Prof Wiemann finally and decided on our presentation on Bollywood representations of Mumbai. The lecture was a tad boring coz I'm anyways not a big fan of Jane Austen and I've not even read the novel concerned....but we did our weekly shopping today. Saima and I went before lectures and got enough so we don't need to go for atleast 10 days...we had a tough time carrying it back but now that we use the trams its easier than carrying it all the way home on foot...that used to be tough on the muscles!!! We had a nice Garman lady who was conerned about us when we asked if Tram # 3 goes to Universitaat platz...she was this grandmotherly lady and she thought we were absolutely new and helped us with the bags into the tram and even pointed out the direction to us when we were getting down from the tram...felt nice...!!!
That's it for now....
