Rambling...

I just copied and pasted the deatils of my Wittenberg trip, with a few additions...just to kinda feel like I did the whole thing specially for the blog...cheater me!! LOL!!!

Hmmmm....I last spoke about us going to Annika's place for dinner....that was wonderful. She stays quite close to our place and shares the apt with 2 other students. Her room is really cozy..she has a bunk bed and has spread colourful caprets all over..has an impressive collection of books and CDs and well...really nice, warm and inviting room. Ironically she had amde Indian food for us...and even more ironically it tasted better than the stuff we cook!!! LOL!!! I really overate that night and this by just sampling each thing she cooked...there were atleast 7 types of dishes...and then milk and cookies..which was the only 'Western' element in the meal...even the crockery she had bought from the 'Asia market'!!!!! All in all that was a fun night..we spoke about the girls who were here last year, Annika's own eyperience in India, our experiences, our plans, our classes etc etc etc...

On thursday I was here at the computer room when Hardo arrived with the photopgraphs he had taken of our flat the first week we were here!! Finally!! He was very aplogetic about the delay and said he must make up, so even tho it was just Saima and me, he took us bowling to the place he used to work at 5 years back. It's a place called Twenty...and we had a ball there. I always shirked away from bowling coz I thought I'd go along with the ball down the gulley(or whatevere it's called)!!!! Plus I knew with my arm-muscle-power I'd get a pathetic score...but Hardo was amazingly patient and taught me how to stand right, how to swing my arm etc etc...and well I had fun!!! Our scores were like this:
Hardo -121
Saima - 91
Me - 87
Acc to Hardo it's great coz most first-timers get a score of ard 45!! So I pretty kicked...we discovered about his tabla, so both of us nagged him about it and wranlged a promise from him that he'd play it for us once...I wanted so desperately to make him hear Rhydhun or one of my James Asher Cds...but I guess that will have to wait till he is in India...which will hopefully be in Feb...insha allah!!!
After he left us Saima and I went shopping and ended up discovering this amzing store with fabulous stuff and at reasonable prices....both of us fell hook,line and sinker for alot fo stuff and decided we'd return there the day we got our next monthly stipend and blow up some money!!! LOL!! I was there yesterday coz we got our money i the morning...we did our weekly shopping of bread, rice, veggies, chicken etc etc...and then went to H&M...Saima and I both bought this sweater which is fashioned like a close form fitting jacket and has a belt along with it...It's so chic I totally adore it!!! I also bought a teeshirt, this time I fell for the colour and the price...it's an off-shoulder thingie but again abso chic and stylish!!!

That night (thursday) even though I had to get up early the next day for the trip, I stayed up late writing comments on the back of each photograph and drawing a map of our flat as well as our area to send home...I posted the photos yesterday along with 2 other mails that have been waiting for 2 weeks..*embarassed about that delay!!*

This weekend I studied and read alot...we had gone to the library on Saturday afternoon so I got soem more books and managed to finish off one section of Paper 8..thouroughly kicked with that!! I also started reading 'The Paino Tuner'...its a very engrossing book and I'm enjoying it...

I've been cooking quite a bit and even got a compliment from Jigisha yesterday..she said that even though I say I don't know how to cook much, whenever I make something, even if its for the first time I end up doing a good job of it...was extremely pleased!!!

Hmmm....gosh there's always so much running in my mind that I wanna blog about but seem to run outta time...eurail, trip to France, class experiences, stuff I ate (Oh I ate on the street yesterday..this thing called Currywurst..its sausages in Sauce....awesome..delicous..mouth-wateringly so!!!)...

Must stop now and turn my attention to some emails and some sites I MUST see today!!! Ciao!!!
