Of French songs, French gymnastics, French fashion, French food...and French guys...*sigh*

4 years ago i took up a whole new language to study, and i thought a lot about it. Its been amazing to study that, and to see our prof making duck-like faces while talking (yes i imitate her, jai, but she actually looks like a duck). And since then, today was by far the best experience I have ever had. dot.

I remember when I was in school, my teacher,on 14th July, after her entire lecture mentioned in passing, that it was the French national day. It never occurred to anyone how much fun it would be to actually celebrate it.

However, xaviers rocks, so or French profs put together this little event, today,a week after 14th July. We sang champs-elysees, premier baiser; people did gymnastics, and a little version of the French fashion week. We had a little skit and a quiz on France too. And some food; croissants, and gateau au chocolat, biscuits and some chips du pomme de terre... just a little presentation for about 50 minutes. (and we did manage it too)

Coincidence (or as i like to call it, universe's most meticulously planned phenomenon): there happened to be a bunch of French exchange students in my college foyer, who were in Mumbai just for the morning, and leaving for Chennai by train at 2. We interacted with them, and begged our profs to let us invite them. And they really enjoyed it.

Thats what learning a language is about isn't it? You learn the culture as well. I'm so glad I took French.

P.S. Its true what they say; French guys are HOT!!! ;-)

The Busy Bee drops in every once in a while...

How awesome is being busy? perhaps as pathetic being not busy is. And my blogs have borne the brunt of both extremities of my life in the past year. Thats right, I have been blogging for a year...

Its like a cycle, I realized. I get bored, i blog about being bored, about it being increasingly monotonous, and then i get busy! And then as if all of a sudden, I am too busy to enter my blog, and even if i do, too tired to actually blog... There is a lot to write about, but it is just too hard to select something to write on.

There has been so much going on in life; college has begun, and with quite a flare, i must say. And my lucky streak! The first 2 weeks of college were so eventful, its hard to believe its been only a month since it started off! My cousin moved in to town, and i discovered how close we would have actually been if he'd moved in before! And my birthday came and went by, without so much as a whisper to my blogs. It was great, we had a good time, but beyond that, whats there to write about?

Malhar work has begun, and between lectures, auditions, preparations, math classes (and a few feuds with friends here and there) life has been exhausting. Perhaps one of the reasons I am sitting here, with my laptop, very sick, instead of going to college which is so much more fun!

And then there was the day i went completely goth over my grief of Harry Potter coming to an end. It was quite emotional, and all my friends wondered if I'd fallen down and hit my head or something.

And so much more! Life is such a roller coaster ride, and right now i'm sitting all buckled up, hoping for more loops-a-hoop!

cheers =)
