Today morning I got a package from home..actually not directly from home. Papa's boss Dr.Metzger was in Bombay last week, so I'd asked for some things to be sent through him. He was to post it to me from Frankfurt, so I'd get the stuff sooner than if my parents sent it from Bombay...they sent more than I asked for...apart from the notes, medicines and sweater I'd asked for, I also got a photograph of Schnapps and a box full of home-made Diwali sweets, i.e. gujiyas and shakar-pare!!! The extent of my happiness can not be described...infact I was so overwhelmed that I decided to go off somewhere by myself and generally get a grip before I cried or something!!
Since I was studying at the time the package arrived, I grabbed a quick bite and then left for the library. There I read up for class...last week we were lost in the Jane Austen class...for reasons too long to get into here, I don't wanna purchase the book here. Since the book isn't there in the library for loan..its only on the reserve shelf, I have to sit in the library and read it. I read up enough for today's class and was so glad I did coz I could participate in class...and it made sense to me. Ironically I took this class coz Saima wanted to, but now I'm enjoying it more than her...haha!! I think its coz we are free to give our own opinions and interpretations and I like this system of free discussion in class....plus they are approaching JA alot differently than we did in FYBA so she seems more readable now..from a different angle ofcourse...but well the aim is achieved...
Here alone again today coz they checked their mail while I was at the library...after this I'm going to Annika's for dinner as I mentioned yesterday. OHHHHH...I forgot to mention today I was in traditional garb, i.e. Salwar Kurta!!! I was wearing a salwar kurta even on sunday but that was only at home...today I wore my salwar kurta and roamed all over and am going in the same to Annika's also...didn't realise how much I missed wearing it. I mean I'm extremely comfy in jeans and prefer them most of the times, but I wear salwar kurtas just as much back home and wearing it today kinda felt nice....really nice!!! Another reason for nostalgia..LOL!!!
Guess that's it for now....Chao!!!
