grading, still. and shampoo.

i feel like i have been grading exams for 2 days straight. wait, i HAVE been.

last night guddu and i went shopping for gifts that i will take to india. we went to target and bought about 15-20 bottles of suave shampoo, lotion, etc. we also got some baby oil for the newborn. i hope i have room for all of this stuff in my luggage. and i really hope it doesn't all bust open on the way there. "shampoo" is actually a south indian word that the Brits picked up, so you'd think they would have shampoo in India. they do, kind of, but it is very expensive. so scented suave shampoo goes over really well.

i will be distributing these gifts when I go to Bihar in May. The coolest place in Bihar is the Khuda Bakhsh Library-- possesing a large Mughal collection and other Islamic documents. Guddu used to supply books to the library and is still in contact with the librarian there.

In June I will head back to Delhi to start my internship at the US & Foreign Commercial Service.
