My goings-on in the past 2 days:
Last night, Alli, Alice, ram (local employee of seva who lives at the dorms), and Eva (PhD student from Lithuania) made dinner. It was nice to finally get to help out with some of the food preparation, and it turned out quite delicious! I'm sure that adding cumin, colander, and turmeric in any combination to any food would probably end up tasting the exact same though ;)
I slept in today (imagine that), and got some Thali for lunch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thali). After getting home, we then went through the complicated process of getting train tickets to Agra for next weekends trip to the Taj Mahal. Apparently the tickets to Agra are sold out, so we had to get tickets to a city on the outskirts and will have to take a bus into Agra. Fortunately, the city that we arrive in is the birthplace of Krishna, so we will get to spend an afternoon seeing some sights before hopping the bus. The real issue came with finding train tickets home. This doesn't affect me because I will be hopping a bus to Delhi to catch my flight home, but it posed a problem for the rest of the gang. We had to personally all go down to the train station to figure it all out, but alas, we succeeded (with much help from Ram).
On the way home we stopped for some coffee (a delight I have missed greatly), and bought a watermelon on the walk back to the apartment. Tonight we plan on going to Fateh Sagar lake and eating some momos (wikipedia it!). Apparently all the cool kids go to Fateh Sagar after dark to hang out. My first time being cool... Super excited!
