So on the 15th we had a tense evening waiting to hear our results. Right before we were about to log on there was a power cut! So we had to wait and rush and find somewhere else to check the internet and it was worth the wait because we both passed
Since then we’ve been enjoying ourselves a lot. We finished work at the shelter on Thursday having completed 5 posters with the girls and played countless games with them. It was a fantastic experience and we will miss them.
Since then, everyone has taken us out for a celebratory meal and we’ve tasted something different every day! So far we’ve enjoyed every food combination that we’ve tried and enjoyed ourselves immensely trying all these things.
Our first evening out was with Geeta aunty and Janak Uncle to a lovely Italian restaurant. This was also to celebrate one of the cows on the farm giving birth! The baby cow is so cute, and it’s growing fast every day.
The next evening was dinner at Dhruvs house and we could barely fit through the door by the end of it. They laid on a feast for us. After this Dhruv, Komal and his cousins took us for Paan and Chuski! It was an interesting experience….(paan is beetle nut leaf with sweet stuff inside). We had a great time and hopefully we’ll see them all again!
The day after we spent a day in Delhi, visiting all the sites (well the shops) and milly bought a beautiful throw which she won’t stop going on about! We practiced our bartering skills and ended up going back home with 3 bags, 2 tops, 4 pairs of trousers and random bits.
That evening we had a fantastic meal with Shivani, Upang, Shovan and their friends at Gunpowder. A south indian restaurant in Delhi where milly tried fish!!!! (albeit not much fish mind). The food was really tasty and it was a lovely relaxed place that we’d never have found if we hadn’t been taken with locals. We then went to a small bar close by where we enjoyed a cold beer whilst listening to some live jazz. We got back at 12 and slept for 4 hours before we had to wake up to go to Agra!
