Cravings

So I’ve had plenty of interesting experiences on the bus but this was probably one of the scariest ones ever. We actually got seats on a pretty crowded bus on our way to the Sewa Sahayog office this afternoon. I looked up and saw this man looking back at me. And every time I looked up I would see him looking back at me. That wasn’t the scary part; it was that he looked exactly like Bob Biswas from the movie Kahaani. For those of you who have seen Kahaani you can understand how shocked I was. But if you haven’t seen it, Bob Biswas is this ridiculously super crazy and creepy hitman. I basically sat there frozen with fear until he got off the bus.

But we made it to the office and I actually had a very productive day. I’ve been planning out more details of my project after getting a better idea of their needs. The two main aspects I’m focusing on right now are improving the teaching of science in abhyasikas and generating interest in the kids about science. I’ll eventually explain more once I’ve figured out more details and tried out some of my ideas :)

After an exhausting day at the office and finding a bus that goes directly from the office to our hostel, we decided to get some ice cream. I had this yummy thing called a ‘Black Forest Swirl.’ It was basically like the most magical thing ever with fluffy vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, crumbles of chocolate cake, strawberry syrup, and chocolate syrup. Now that I list out everything that was in that, I’m not really sure how I actually finished it. We decided to walk off all that sugar and when we were halfway back to the hostel we got a whiff of pav bhaji from this restaurant. I tried to fight off the immense craving that I had, but we turned right back around and ate this amazing pav bhaji. I’m still trying to figure out how I managed to eat all that, but hey, I only come to India every few years so I might as well indulge, right? :)
