chocolate avalanche
i'm getting pretty busy at work these days-- i have a big research report to write on the Indian banking reforms and then i am drafting an article for a DoC publication in addition to the smaller tasks that i do here. so i am pretty busy.
last night we continued the theme of staying out to dinner really late. shakti came to connaught place and met me after work. we wandered towards Bangla Sahib Gurudwara so he could buy one of those Sikh bracelets for his friend. then we went to lacoste where he tried on almost every color of polo shirt... karthik met us there and we walked to Parikrama, the revolving restaurant, for dinner. we had some decent food there and then around 10:30 headed to Mocha's-- a coffee/dessert/hookah bar and stayed there until 12:30 or so. conversation: where to go from here (career-wise) and the inbalance between american foreign and domestic policy.
i'll be leaving in one month-- i need to start doing all the things i need to get done bc the time will fly! i think i should go to the dentist for a teeth cleaning at least-- i mean a real dentist, not the guy with pliers on the sidewalk.
i hope to continue this zeal for social gatherings in the US. the only problem is it is difficult in richmond when all of our friends live elsewhere... guddu and i should definitely make it up to DC more often.
about me staying in Ghaziabad for all those concerned-- i'm only thinking of doing it for the last 2 weeks in august. but i might not do it anyways bc i realized the rickshaw to work is only Rs40 or so by meter from the road near our house. and it is only 25 to the embassy. and its not like after kelley and shakti leave that i will have no network anymore-- ingrid, alp, and archana will be stopping in, and then there is ashlee, lydia and julia who are working almost up to the date i am.
speaking of ghaziabad, many of my work clothes are there and i need to go as soon as santosh gets back so i can change out of these clothes that have been in such heavy rotation!
