Bapu and Manu

***Btw we no longer have IHMR Computer Labs so back to the ghetto cyber cafe---the date of this blog is wrong---I am writing it on Tuesday...***

Back in Delhi...not sure how happy I am abt it...we are back at Bapu and Manu...if that makes any sense. On Sunday we had a smooth drive over from Jaipur to Delhi---a quick ride it seemed like. After arrival is where the fun-stuff started. Apparently there was no car waiting to pick us up and do the needful to drop us off. After a million calls and quite a hassle there was a car sent over to take us to Vasant Kunj and thereafter to Bapu. Acchelalji was happy and this was only the second time ever that I saw him smile---right after Linda wished him a Happy Father's Day...

On our drive to Bapu we came to know that we wouldn't be staying at Bapu but rather a Manu Apartments that is nearby. Manu is okay...the only bit that we are TRULY bitter abt is the bathroom. Dude the entire stay they provide us w/reasonable stuff and then this!!! So Indian...really!!! We are making it work and we all seem to have fun laughing it off but it's definitely not acceptable...CFHI is gonna be hearing abt this though I really doubt they will do anything abt it---isn't that how it always works?

Yesterday our rotation at Bapu started...not the most thrilling I tell u. And if these people are supposed to sell naturopthy or ayurveda to us they are most certainly not doing a very convincing job. I played hookie today to come here and blog etc because our time wasn't being utilized in the most effective manner over there. The Bapu schedule for the week involves yoga at 6:30 am...then a break...then OPD rounds...then break/lunch...then lecture...and finally a meditation hour at 3 pm. It wld all be okay if we were staying at Bapu---but we're not!!! Apparently some ministers visited Bapu and so they took up the rooms we were supposed to have---I hope someday someone takes on these damn politicans who are nothing but an absolute inconvinience to society as a whole and in particular to developing nations like India.

It's been raining off and on and so the streets are ANYTHING but pleasant in particular the smells!!! Paul concluded today that a sewage system is needed---lol---if only it was that simple. The gang minus the three Indians is off to Agra on Thursday so that should be interesting...the Indians are planning to stay here and go shopping.

Finally after all my cribbing I want to wish dad a very Happy Father's Day!!! I am here because of you and you have made me what I am :):):) I am pretty poor and kinda far away so those wishes will have to suffice on their own w/out any gift for now.
