It's been forever and a day, Hi Blog!

I know it has been forever since I updated my Blog. A lot has happened in between from sickness to travel and all that falls in between. Well the next amazing thing I did after I abandoned my blog was that I visited the Taj Mahal. Visiting the Taj Mahal was on my bucket-list of things to do, and it's been done!!! The Taj Mahal is such a beautiful marble structure, seeing with my own eyes up close was surreal, a dream almost, I still can't believe how magnificent it was to feel and experience the Taj. After that lovely trip I got very sick, for a whole week...I won't even go into detail with that. Luckily that sickness did not last for more than a week, and I was up and running after. I have really been enjoying the down time in India. The internship has been great, but it's very slow paced ( "It's India" is what everyone says...) I am currently working on a questionnaire to evaluate a government initiative for sexual and reproductive health among adol

Food

Hello! I finally went shopping for groceries so I can start making my own meals! I also bought a lot of fruits and veggies, yum! The fruits are sooo delicious especially the mangoes. I made some pasta today, so I won't have to buy food at work tomorrow, so I am very happy about that. Today I got my suit, and I tried it on and I love it! I can't wait to order Saree! (here's a little preview) Work has been going well, I am currently researching in depth the Adolescent Education Program. I am a little worried though because the money my dad deposited for the program has not been received yet, I really hope they did not lose it!!!! I have been at the office a lot and want to get out and do more field work instead, I like working directly with and for the people, I am getting a little bored with just the research, all very good reads, but there is nothing like seeing, feeling and smelling a program!

Hello Again!!!

Hi, it's been a while, but I have just been having a little too much fun! This weekend I stayed at my friend Garima's house. It was great I really enjoyed getting pampered by her maids and personal waxer!!! I also got to pick out an outfit from some designers that always stop by her house to show them fabrics and tailor make them suits!!! I get it tomorrow so I will post pictures up soon! It crazy to see the contrasts between the people who have some money and the people that don't, I don't see a middle class? Today I visited India Gate and the equivalent of our White House, the architecture in India is just incredible and surreal!  I got to visit a Gurudwara (or temple) and it was a nice experience! The Lotus Temple is just 0.03 miles away form where I am and I still have not gone!!! I tried going but got lost walking hopefully I go this week sometime. My internship has been great, it's very laid back, and the work is very interesting! I am work
