I have never eaten so much rice in my life as I have in the past 3 weeks ( I generally don't seek out rice unless it is in sushi. It would never be my first choice of food so I'm pretty sure that is not an overstatement).
Yesterday was a festival of kites. I celebrated by reading more of kite runner ( it's very moving and intense but very good).
It is still weird to see boys walking together with their arms over each other just in a friendly manner.
It's ok to drive on the wrong side of the road if you are planning to turn soon.
There was a cute lizard in the bathroom for a while and then in the SIP classroom but I haven't seen it recently.
I'm not very gifted at Hindi, or I suppose languages in general.
Every time there is a situation where it would be helpful to use Hindi, I immediately think of every other language that I've learned instead. Suddenly Italian and Spanish come rushing into my head but I realize that "Dove" is not going to mean much to a Hindi speaker and neither is 'si'.
There are smells in India which I couldn't even begin to name, a lot of which I believe come from burning trash.
ALSO, from the movie we saw, a great song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifh8l2aB7ic

i totally get the language thing...i'd think of spanish in my russian class all the time
let's talk about how I just have two languages that I know, and yet there are times when I still can't think of a word. in EITHER language. like the word "subjective" - my conservation with my host sister came to a screeching halt for the five minutes it took me to think of the word in english, and then translate into spanish... sometimes I'm afraid to know what my family must think of me... lol
