First Sunday in Delhi

First n foremost, got up according to my own standard time, 10 am.felt good to be able to sleep that much!! Got up n another first, actually had a proper breakfast!! Although, wasn’t feeling too well, but my cousin n I still decided we would go n freak out. Didn’t have too many options, went to Cannaught Place and Jan path and had an awesome time with Roopi. Went to KFC for lunch. Glad that the veggie food is good. Liked it better than Mc Donald. Then headed off to Sarojini Nagar. Went berserk in that crowded place!!
Met up with mom’s best friend. N then headed back home. Well almost.. coz home is actually where mum n dad are.
Miss u Mom n Dad. I just hope I do well here. Coz its not easy staying away from u guys.

The first few days of work
Beginning the day on 1st july.. all apprehensions galore mum dad n I got all packed into the car,on our way to delhi. What I was worried about was the place that we were booked in, the wet n wild resorts.. sounded wild I thought!!
Anyway, went non stop.not even stopping for lunch, not a surprise that we reached there well before time.. the next 2 hours then got spent waiting for my cousin, at her flat. Or rather, OUTSIDE her flat. J things never r too easy. In the evening began the road to discovery, the resort. N well, did come as a pleasant surprise when we saw that it was a most impressive place, n our fellow residents at the place were the Indian football team. Not that I knew any of them. Well, I still don’t!!
Beginning with the process of getting to know my roommates n I realised I’d been one lucky girl.. n I had the company of four absolutely awesome ppl. My roommate n I were contrasts when it came to our physique. The only similarity being the height. Otherwise she was tall n skinny, n I, haha, tall n grossly overweight!
But we gelled so well, it was amazing!
Then began the first day, darn!! Whoever thought studies ended once u begin work?? I still have an exam to take by the end of this month. N gosh!! The first ten days.. sessions from 9 to 9..
But all this while its been a lot of fun, the activities we carried out were pure undiluted fun!!
Everyone enrolled in the ALP program would remember ‘Meri pyari kaali bhains’ for a long time to come!
(we had to each repeat what the previous player had said n add a couple of words, thus forming a story About the pyari kali bhains radha, who died at the mere age of 4, humein bahut nuksaan hua!! )
The first day of field trip, meeting patients, the first day out in delhi and I ended up with a stomach infection which gradually migrated to become a proper flu.
The field work actually deserves more than just one line of mention.. I ought to write an essay on how ‘life is a local bus’!!!
More later…
