Namaste!

Hello everyone.... so what have i done since i last wrote?! Well Caroline has arrived, shes nice.... We had our picture taken at the Lalbagh flower show and it was in the newspaper!! we didnt realise that people were taking pictures of us but to be fair its a common occurance there as everyones amazed to see foreigners!!! so that was well random.
School is going well, have been doing all sorts, mainly helping where i can and one on reading. Ive also been doing 'Buzz Words' so words the kids may struggle to prenounce or understand ie 'delighted' 'surpirse'!! We met the founder of the organistation last week, she was really nice, when she was younger she worked with mother teresa for 7 years so thats pretty cool!
There are also some other volunteers that ive met english/sccottish/austrian/indian so got lots of people i can meet up with which is always good... can get a tad boring just going home and reading!! We've had some funny moments like crazy auto rides that are free aslong as you go visit certain shops and pretend u are really rich and are gonna buy lots of the over priced stuff.
Have some clothes in the process of being made... cost me RS 125 so thats less than 2pounds! so good, and very exciting.
Have had a really funny weekend... had a pedicure... not good when uve got tickly feet, and it HURTS! nice to have clean feet for a while though before they get all dusty!
On Saturday evening me Sarah Milo and Richard ended up in a rude boy racer car, didnt think u got that kinda thing in India... but u do! we got a lift to this club called the ice club... inside a very very posh hotel! the club spilled out to around the pool and it has benefits being a western girl as is rare that u have to buy your own drink so that was pretty funny. although curfew is very annoying as have to be home at half 11. so wierd to be back at home before 12 on a saturday night!!! good for my health though im sure. !!!
on sunday a new girl arrived called Katrin who's also at Parikrma so met her at Hemas, and Alex and James who have been here a while but hadnt met them yet.
so yeah thats about it i think... im very bad at writing these things as have about 5 mins to do them in so they probably make no sense!!
has been a busy day at school today... kids can be ever so slightly too mental and is hard being a volunteer as have no authority but they are also lovely so its fine!!
off home now and then will be meeting ppl later for some drinks so keeping busy. gonna try and make it to a bollywood film some time this week too and then off to Hampi at the weekend.
Hope everyone is good back in EngalAndddd. cant say im missing the winter but missing the people lots of course!! Love to everyone. Keep in touch with what u are all up too! Mwah. xxxxxxxx.

Big Ma also says where are the photos-at least keep the news paper so we can revel in your 15 minutes of fame on your return!!

Hope you had a great weekend and have come back refreshed ready for more crowd control. Surprised you find that difficult!!??!!
