Random Highlights

I know I’ve been really bad about keeping my blog updated for the past 2 weeks, so I’m going to try and make up for that now. There have been lots of random stories that have occurred so I’m cramming them into this post!

First off, I’d like to mention my current wada pav withdrawal phase. I haven’t had it for like 3 weeks (which is a record). Now the craving is really hitting me so I’m probably going to have to get a wada pav soon. But our YFS Coordinator (Manik Tai) introduced us to this fantastic new food called rolls. It’s basically a wrap type thing made with roti and filled with a variety of yummy spices and vegetables.

On a completely random note, we needed to seriously wipe down our entire hostel room and had to use this cleaning solution called Lizol. We definitely pronounced it as Lee-zol for a while, but apparently it’s pronounced just like our normal Lysol. So confusing. But we still refer to it as Lee-zol just for kicks.

So due to a surprise situation and me being sick we stayed mostly at Manik Tai’s house. But that gave us access to a real kitchen and a chance to cook. I didn’t actually cook anything because I was sick, but everyone else cooked a wonderful feast of pasta with mushrooms in alfredo sauce, garlic bread, stuffed mushrooms, and chocolate cake frosted with nutella. Probably shouldn’t have eaten all that, but hey, it was some good comfort food. We’ve just made so many unforgettable memories at Manik Tai’s house because me, Rhucha, Manik Tai, and Ketki (her fantastic 10 year old daughter) are all so dramatic and punny. We’ve had many serious conversations, but equally as many sessions of insane laughter. It’s probably one of the top 3 things that I’m going to miss when I go back. But I try not to think about that.
