I have found myself getting lazier. I cancelled my Hindi classes because I couldn’t make time to study. My teacher said I have been bitten by the Indian bug. I guess it is no coincidence that I am writing this blog at work and not focusing on my research paper? (Uh, oh……)
Life here revolves around food and fun (aka khanna and masti- I want to make my hindi teacher proud)
I went to a Pediatric conference today, and we had been periodically served snacks throughout the 4 hour talk so lunch to me was highly unnecessary. Yet, no one seemed to pay attention to the last speaker since lunch was about to be served! People got up and ran to stand in line, while the speaker was still talking. Talk about rude! Where is the food going, haven’t we all had enough? There are 200 doctors in the crowd, have we all really been deprived of anything?? Not only that, but when in line, elder Uncles were cutting in front of me, pushing me out of the way for dhal and rice. I guess we will always believe in India that with over 1 billion people, natural selection will eventually choose only those fit for survival here and Darwin’s theory of the fittest shall prevail is evident. I guess that translates to food as we must eat ALL THE TIME in case we are forced to skip a meal at some point, God forbid the concept of fasting!
Maybe I will go against the holy grail of this country and go on a juice fast….could help my girlish figure after eating all this Punjabi food! ☺
