Walking towards Borobudur

And then finally a full view!

Just got back from Indonesia. Will post soon.
It's good to be back and re-establish my buttprint on the sofa in the good spot in front of the tv.

2011 was epic. I graduated college and bagged a college honor. Both very unexpected, as my parents told me. My brother graduated school and got into college as anticipated. My parents completed twenty five years of being married to each other.

And to celebrate....... family trip.

SO we board a flight to North bengal, book a room in a resort near the jungle, and with Axl Rose singing 'Welcome to the Jungle' in my head, punctuated with my Mom screaming at me to pack more clothes, we're off.

Like true bongs we have packed enough warm clothes to withstand Arctic cold, with mom seriously considering buying a monkey cap, and once there we don't know what to wear. Because it is HOT. In the day atleast. Evenings we all flaunted those skull caps.

In the flight there is an unfortunate child in front of me wearing a sweater knitted by her grandmother. The body is sky blue and red stripes. The arms are cobalt blue and red stripes. Gran ran out of sky blue wool it seems.

Day 1: Lyaadh. (yeah, sorry, this is still my family's trip)

Day 2: Jungal Safari

Jungal Safari turned out to be very dusty with not an animal in sight. Just a lot of elephant poop as the driver pointed out proudly.

Then there was the trip to see the Kanchenjungha. I really don't know how to spell that. My dad stared out at the horizon and after a moment of scrunching his eyebrows finally asks us..."Where is it?" My brother points. Dad hadn't thought to look above the clouds.

And skip skip some boring parts, some depressing meals because the chef was sick it's the last day.

Looking at a CUTE rhino from a watchtower, followed up by tribal dances and drinking their salty tea, it's time to go back to the room, driving through the forest in the dark, followed by fireflies.

Peace to everyone. Have an epic 2012.

here in delhi...

Sweat cone. YUM, huh?

Picture of Angkor Vat. Just realized that I had managed to not upload the picture after three whole posts on my trip to Cambodia.

Drink up a fruit 'bear'. Best thing to quench your thirst in summer.

(menu of restaurant on campus. i'd recomment the shwarma rolls more than the bear)

After connecting all the wires,the circuit works only when I touch it. That is, the back of the bulb had a loose connection and I was putting it back in position. The genius people conclude- U must be electric. Current flowing through you.

Of Furniture

That on top, is our chair. Below that is my friends trying to sit on/in it and I have cut out their faces at their insistent requests (read threats). Below that is the chair now doomed to be a clothes-horse.
PS- dunno why i put in the vague head using paint. beg pardon.

Soop-pah-woman

On the right is my roommate.
Today-
1. I sang kryptonite all day
2. a random child in the road pointed at her and shouted 'superman!'
3. a guy nudged his friend also wearing the same t-shirt and said 'superwoman' and dissolved into giggles.

This is Droopy. My mother's pet plant. I think Droopy is dying. I hope it's not the detergent water I squeezed on it that day while putting the half-washed clothes out to dry.

Mom wanted to buy a fruit bowl. He's a nutcase. He insisted it's a hat.
