a photo essay

This week I feel a few photos are in order, after the wordiness of the last entry. Comments are below each photo.
This is what I look like as I play badminton at the court in the phd students quarters. Yes, I might look very attentive, but that does not mean I am very successful at actually hitting the birdie. But the other students humour me.

A visitor to my room one morning! Hanging out on my only kitchen equipment. Sorry Annie, no collecting this one, I just left her alone and she was gone by evening.

Yes, I am indeed wearing a saree. Which is a lot of work to wear, but luckily I had about 5 different people help me get it on. They kept correcting each others mistakes. But it was a pleasure to wear such an elegant outfit for an evening. My colleagues from CISED are with me in the photo, also dressed up for the night.

What the student dining hall looks like during our "candlelight" dinners (i.e. when there is no power.) Very romantic.


Pinning up mango leaves over the doorframe for Lakshmi festival on August 15th. Mango leaves are hung over the door frame for most major festivals and left there until the next festival. I was visiting my colleague in Mysore for the holiday (which was also Indian Independence Day).
