Day 8- Hauz Kas clubbing, college life in India and shopping!

It is officially a week since I started my adventure and I am writing this post after a fun and exhausting day.

Today started badly when me and my room mates overslept but mange to wake up just in time for leaving for the Maitreyi college visit and breakfast. At the college there was a celebratory atmosphere again, but this time I managed to skip class and spend more time with the girls, students, than attending lectures. I even participated in competitions and won the quiz with my Indian team mates, beating the boys from the UK, as I was the only girl participating.

After classes finished, we went to Delhi Haat for some shopping with the Indian student and I got a saree and a couple more gitfts for my friends back home, However, after we left and returned to the hotel, it was our first evening off so we made the most of it and went shopping to Janpath as I needed a blouse for my saree. Luckily I found this shop owner from which I buit a traditional suit that told me to come back tomorrow and he will sort me out with a tailor. Therefore, I am really happy and will probably have my ceremony outfitready in a couple of days. 

The shopping sessions were followed by dinner and then a group of about 20 of us went clubbing in Hauz Kas, the hipseter village of nightlife in Delhi. We had a blast, went to a shot bar and then a jamaican bar and had the best time dancing the night away Indian style. 

We just got back 20 minutes ago, around 1. 30 and I am going to bed as I need to be fresh as a daisy for tomorrow at the fresher's party of Maitreyi college.What a wonderful life I live!! Also, I found out I am doing my internship at Maxposure, my no 1 choice even before I knew what I wanted to do in the internship

10 things I love about summer

Image
Summer  is a lovely time of year,  you have the long days and with a little luck longer, warmer days and sunshine. Why wouldn't one love summer then!? I was contemplating how much I enjoy this season and how busy the days seem to be, of course the British summer isn't as sunny but there are days when it's warm enough and it doesn't rain. Therefore, here are my 10 reasons for loving summer: 1. The feeling of freedom it gives. I know will fade with time because school will end and when you work you don't have 3 months of summer vacation but for now it feels so good to know you have such a lengthy amount of time off every year. 2. The repeating cycle of big changes preceeded by it, every 4 years I start a new chapter in my book, passing from one school to another, from one city to a new one, so I anxiously wait for these rare and random summers. 3. The wonderful hot weather perfect for all those trips and relaxing walks, though it isn't true for all the ...

Day 17 in Zambia- Chikumbuso again and the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel

Yesterday was an interesting day as I got to go back to Chikumbuso and we went through all the projects identified at the previous visit, therefore, we moved on into making a clear list with items needed and then to assigning who will get the quotes, the project is progressing and hopefully, soon enough we will be able to move forward and start writing the project plan, in order to have it approved by the RI Foundation. I am back at marking essays and it is wearing me out a little, but today I had a more relaxed day as I couldn't make it to Chilenje and had to postpone it for tomorrow. Did go and do some shopping and have a lovely lunch with Sid. We went for the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel as he wanted a burger and they make some pretty darn good ones, as I got a taste of his. I went for a mediterranean lunch with a toasted roasted veg and humous sandwich, that was simply delicious. While we were eating, we sat on the terrace and there was a very nice artificial lake, that had, ...

Back in sunny Oxford but still have the India blues

It has been almost a month since I left India but India has never left me, or my heart! England has been most welcoming, with warm and sunny days that try to lure me back into its fast moving life. I admit that since I returned I have not had a moment of silence, peace or meditation, always working, always studying, always somewhere to go and something to do. I feel tired but I also feel melancholic, I feel that some part of me is missing and yes, I miss India! Even though I will hopefully return next summer, it seems like aeons from now. I am now busy planning my next adventures, including securing my work placement year that I want to undertake abroad, maybe in India, maybe in the US, maybe in Dubai, who knows where this theatre play called life will throw me. Nevertheless, I have other smaller adventures to look forward to, a week holiday back home in Romania and a weekend away backpacking in Poland for my 21st birthday. More recent than my trips will come the reunion with al...
