I was thinking last night about how much my blog has started resembling a newspaper...all it consists of these days is reports and updates...there's hardly any introspection, observations, or even rambling...just ABC...period. How boring and mundane could I get? So henceforth I shall try to go back to my rambling style and include personal perceptions, opinions, thoughts et al....
Was walking down alone to the computer room today..felt really good. I mean I enjoy the company of the other two...but since we've come here I do everything along with them...atleast Saima comes along everywhere...so today the solitary walk cleared my senses and made me feel fresh and alive...tho I did feel a bit creeped out when I crossed this part with these huge trees..that part of the campus is dark and silent...tad scary if you have an active imagination like mine!! LOL!!
I plan to get out more like this...not out into the city, but maybe for a walk, or even to the computer room...coffee perhaps? Lets see how far I go with my resolutions...
Today in class we got really bored...Prof Kamble from the Socio dept of our univ is here in Magdeburg for a mth and he took the Dharawi lec today. All that he lectured about was basically repetition for us so we had a tough time restraining ourselves from getting distracted...one thing I can't understand about Indian professors is why they get all defensive and so conscious when they are abroad or in front of a Western academician...I mean he was the authority on Indian sociology in the circumstance, yet he kept referring to the German profs!!! He undermined his own status...completely incomprehensible to me....
The next class was Breunig's class...the same prof who invited us over for dinner last week. Obviously we knew lotsa people there and it felt nice to enter a class and say hullo to everyone and then walk out of the building discussing the lecture and the idiosyncracies of the prof...feels like we are included in the class properly now..not just guests, temporary members....know what I mean?
Tomorrow evening we have been invited to another dinner...this time a classmate...Annika. She was in Mumbai two years ago, so she is also interested n going back for another trip...infact she has applied for the excursion in Feb to Mumbai/Dharawi...anyways shes really quite nice and friendly. This morng she came around and took us to the IKUS office..thats the orgn for intercultural activities...they are organising the trip to Wittenberg. We registered for the trip..after that we visited the univ bookshop and I saw these cool tees with the Univ logo emblazoned on the front...shall pick one up as a momento of sorts...
Hmmm thats's it for now...feeling hungry...just had soup for bfast and grabbed a sandwich in between...shall email home and run back 'home'...talk about wierd...she talks of 2 homes in the same breath!!! Not yet diasporic tho...yes I know my attmept at humour escapes you all...accept it as Geetanjali's idiosyncracies!!! Hahaha!!
