Happy Happy Happy

Hmm....I'm happy today...Sudha didi sent the photos of the Heidelberg trip, so I got to see them and posted them on my Yahoo briefcase...so damn cool. Also yesterday was a cool day. It was darn wierd actually...I had gone to the library to read and to check my mail..I returned early thinking I'd get enough time to eat my lunch...on the way I got a call...it was Kunaal...obviously I was thrilled to bits...it was so cool to be talking to him again...god I miss him!!!

Anyways when I reached my bldg the wind was blwong such that my hair was all over like Medusa's snakes...and I realised that I'd forgotten my keys at home!! Saima and Jigisha weren't there...so I was sooooooo upset...luckily a Chinese family left the door open for me to atleast enter the bldg. Then I camped on the steps till Saima returned half and hour later...gobbled down my meal and ran to class.

After class I was talking to Wiemann about the presentation...he said it was good and was very happy that we laid such a good groundwork for the films that will be screened later in Jan...when my phone rang again...this time it was home...since I had to duck out suddenly I later ran down to apologise to Wiemann...after that was 'Pride and Prejudice' - a part of the Austen movie screenings....I never liked the book when I had it in FYBA but I totally freaked out on the movie. We just saw Part I yesterday and now I can't wait for next Wednesday to see Part II. Really like this concept of screening the movies....

After the movie we went to Annika's house (again) for dinner :)...Raghu, her other Indian friend also came along. She had made 'soul food', i.e, Veg-au-gratin in Sweet cream and there was beer. I must confess I still don't think much of beer though it was definitely better than the ones I've tasted back in India. The Schnapps she offered after dinner was infintely better...I tried the one she has made with Schlea berries...excellent. She has also made some with garlic and chillies but I refused to touch that...we had a great time last night...Annika is really fun...she is also so dead serious about learning Hindi that we played Memory with hindi alphabets..LOL!!! She's cool!!

Anyways, we got home at 1 am and then Saima and I were talking till 3 am (Jigisha dint come for dinner)... Luckily we dint have lectures today coz of a student demonstration so we could sleep in late. The demonstration was to protest the decison to shift the humanities faculty from Magdeburg university to Hall university. This is being done despite the fact that the faculty, tho only 10 years old, has 2000 of the university's 10,000 students...yet another demonstration of the world's preferences of the sciences over the arts...ICK!!!

Anyways yesterday I also got to know that the photos I'd posted home have finally reached..so kicked about that...now my parents know exactly where I live and how my flat looks...:)
