I keep meaning to take a photo of the meals to show y’all what I eat every day. But I can never remember to take my camera with me, so I have only a few photos of the food. I don’t remember the names of all the dishes, but there’s idly, rice, ragi dosa, rice, white dosa, rice, ragi porridge (my favorite), rice, chapattis and rice. We eat rice a lot. And there are different sauces for the rice and they are all spicy. I LOVE them. But sometimes I get a bit sick of eating the food. So I make eggs. And fried bread. Because it’s so much yummier than toast! Here are some food photos to give you an idea of what I eat!
So I took a break…
It would seem I forgot I have a blog. I used to be a very avid blogger and now I don’t really enjoy it. I want to give y’all updates on my life here in India, but sitting down and actually writing about my daily life is rather boring. I feel like it’s as exciting about writing about my life in my Ontario home. I live here and everything that happens just seems normal, even killing a little scorpion last week seemed normal. He was in the living room and had to die. Just like spiders in my Ontario home. But I don’t kill spiders here. Except the really fuzzy black one that was in my shower. That was gross. He had to die.
Life here in the past month has been the same as the month before that. I’m almost halfway through my time here which is absolutely crazy!!! My days are spent teaching in the mornings (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday,) Tuesdays I don’t teach as there are more teachers than we need everyday and Fridays are my day off. The girls are in school from 9:30 – 4ish so I have a lot of downtime during the day. I spend my time reading or chatting with Jayne and we often go into Kollegal to buy stuff from the market, lately I’ve been buying lots of fruit as I over indulged in cookies and chocolate… Sometimes one of the younger girls will come with us so we have a slow stroll into town. The afternoons are getting very hot so I have a rest after lunch. Going from 17C in the morning to 35C in the afternoon is quite draining! I spend time with the girls in Jayne’s dorm in the afternoons as I’ve adopted the dorm and they like to play card games with me or do my hair. I usually have to redo my hair when they are done though as they pull it very tight!
That’s pretty much life at the moment. I’ll try to get more updates done more often but now I must go get some milk as it’s milking time!
Colors
India. How does one describe such an amazing country with words? It’s bright, vibrant, noisy, stinky, sweetly scented, scorching, chilly, blustery, dry, busy, peaceful, beautiful, ugly, sweet, spicy, bland, crazy and tons of other things! I can’t adequately describe it in words, but here are some photos to show how bright and colorful it can be. The photos were taken in Mysore.
Waterfalls and Monkeys
There is a 7 person team here from Ireland. They have been here for a week and are here until Thursday (they are amazing people who make Apple crumble!) They decided to take all the girls and staff (around 80 people) on a full day trip to a waterfall about half an hour away, and then we went to a hotel type place for lunch, and then we came back to KGH and they had hired some cooks from a restaurant in town to cook dinner. It was a beautiful sunny hot day - the weather here doesn't really vary - and I got a sun burn. In January. I'm going to have epic tan lines! Here are some photos from the day.
