My French yoga friend, who's been to different parts of India four different times, says that it takes a least month before you will start to get to know Indians. That’s when she notices that they will begin to introduce themselves. Turns out that she wasn’t far off. Today (5 weeks after we arrived) was the first day that someone in yoga class approached me to inquire what I was doing here. Yogesh (his name actually means God of Yoga) is a Rajistani Ph.D. student doing cancer research, mostly in Sweden, but he’s at JNU for a short time.
Every night for the past month it seems we have heard (and sometimes seen) fireworks around 9 or 10 pm. It took us awhile to figure out what they were all about. It turns out that this has been the wedding season and that fireworks are a prerequisite for every wedding.
