one of my assignments

Assignments , Assignments and lot of assignments. Just finished one today and have two more to go for tomorrow. I had to do a 3 min video with actors & stuff and it turned out to be pretty good. All of us can interpret the script in our way and we had many weird interpretations. one of my classmates actually shot a love making scene for his video. He had a like screen in front and a couple making out at the back. Overall the film was good but then the love making scene was a bit too long, i guess the actors got carried away....!!!! These guys are like too much....

tit bits...

Every time i try not to burn my fingers while cooking it does not happen. Everytime i end up burning one finger or the other. Either it is during while stirring the vegetables while its getting cooked or opening the pressure cooker ( we cook our rice in the cooker , yet to buy an electric one ). I dont know why , probably i am too involved in the cooking or may be i might learn through practice. We usually hav one proper meal in a day and that is usually in the night. Today i was very hungry so i thought i will make somethhing good to eat, but then ended up making some thing very weird. We get readymade bhendi here mixed with tomatoes. i thought i will make that with potato, i cooked n cooked n cooked. I added lot of masalas ( nothing worked ). Finally my friends got tired and said " leave it man lets just eat it" poor guys .. i do all my experimentation on them.

By the way i played cricket this weekend. We have a cricket ground which is of course used by us indians and nobody else. It was actually match Tamilnadu & Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu won hurray !!!! i did not get to bat but then its ok. It was good, playing in a ground, surrounded by trees ,very refreshing. Otherwise this place gets very vert depressing....away from home..all americans around...its really difficult to manage...We even have proper official tournaments. The Indian Student 's Association is organizing a tournament next week. Will just go and see , not take part. weekend is the best time, about that in my next blog....in the library now , have taken a lap top , have to return in five mins. its going to be 2 am so gotta get going...

On Kitchen

lot of first stuff for me here. I mean there are certain things which i never did back home. One of them was entering into the kitchen. I was so lazy that i would not even enter the kitchen to take my own food. I would expect somebody to serve me food in the plate and give it to me. Another thing i did not like about the kitchen was the sink . I could not imagine how people would put thier hand inside and clean the drain when its stuck with all those food particles .I would not even keep the plate inside the sink, i would leave it outside par abhi ............ woh luxury sab khatam ho gaya. The time i am at my apartment here i spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Here everybody has to take care of the kitchen, wash your own plates, wash the utensils in which you cooked and every other aspect associated with the kitchen.

Never in my life i thought that i would cleaning the sink and stuff. I was washing the utensils the other day and i thought to myself " arre bhai kahan aake phas gaye aur dekho kya kya kaam karna pad raha hai" . One thing all of us are learning is how to manage the kitchen..

Yesterday one of my room mates cooked nice tasty chicken. It was the second time we were having chicken in a month. This is like luxury here.( i mean nobody has the time to cook chicken here..) I cooked veg fried rice , it was like ok. One of the guys got ice cream , so like after a long time we had good food.

In a day we eat only once properly. We survive on corn flakes the whole day and night its the only time when we get to eat proper food.
