GQ

Hey Guys,
So there you go, some pictures for you. I had more but I'm having computer problems (of course). I'd like to mention something since I'm sitting here in an internet cafe covered in small insect bites (or "rashes" as Lokesh calls them) it is so incredibly different actually living here rather then traveling. For instance, being a traveler in Delhi you commonly run across the usual long haired, bearded, hemp pants wearing hippies on their way to enlightenment (Goa) on the other hand living in the middle class residential area you run into (as I've just experienced) the well-dressed, GQ, clean cut, washed, muscular, expats (usually dark haired and olive skinned from Iran, or Israel (Kasia you'd love it!).
What else is new? I went to the India Gate to have ice cream with Lokesh last night (Lokesh = the other guy living at Mrs. Singhs). Families and couples flock to the area to eat(there's rows and rows of ice cream carts) and to sit on the grounds and look at the beautifully lit gate. (history lesson = the gate was built by the British to commemorate the Indians killed during world war 1 & 2)The only problem was the lights on the gate are shut off at 10 and all the carts and people flow out of the area giving it an errie feel.
This morning I actually dragged my ass out of bed and walked around the Defence Colony a bit. The roads between the flats are narrow and the merchants riding around on bicycles seem to compete with eachother on who can shout their wares louder, it makes me smile.
I took a laptop home from work this weekend. I have to finish the editing of the publications this weekend. I'm feeling really over my head. But like a good friend told me the other day - I gotta stop stressing (and like my Chinese mark that actually didn't lower my GPA - my intelligence will get me through this - well actually he didnt' tell me I was intelligent, I just threw that in there) but really, it'll work out.
On a final note, I forgot how great India is for my physical self esteem. It's nice being told I'm beautiful, cute and sweet every day. Now I just have to train everyone to worship me. Shouldn't be too difficult.
O.k. everyone start a blog so I can read what's up with you guys. Ang, I love the idea of the Nanny Blog and I'll find everything you write immensely interesting, I promise!
