Day 15- Closing ceremony dinner and last day at the office!

Today started nicely with breakfast at the office cooked by my lovely boss and a nice cuppa made by my lovely friend. I finished a cover story for one of the magazines that I designed the content list for and also did some research on Indian dessert, jalebi.

We had a lot of fun today, also my boss took me for a celebrity interview with Prakash Jah, one of India's greatest directors. It was an honour to meet him and interview him, however, we had to rush and shop for my accessories as well.

We went to Unhappily married where I bought some really unique and crafty souveniers for my friends and then to Lajpat Nagar, a huge market where I got my accessories and shoes for my saree. After that I took a tuk tuk and hurried back to the hotel where I got ready to party!

At  6 we went to the British Council where we had our closing ceremony which was a blast! The food, speeches and dancing was amazing, as well as the disco and music at the afterparty!

Tomorrow we leave for Mumbai, I will go for breakfast with my boss and then I will say goodbye to Delhi, but it is more a see you soon as I plan to come back either for a placement for uni or for an internship as I got offer from both Maxposure and the BC.

So tired and finished packing, but tomorrow will be even more tiring! Good night and see you soon!

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...
