I have been selected for a 'Exploring real India' programme. This is a student programme organised by a Mumbai-based NGO called Initiative in the association with NAPM, National Association of Public Movements. I would be going to Mozda village in Gujarat and working with Paryavaran Surkasha Samiti (PSS) there. I am very excited about this trip. I would be staying in the village and assisting PSS. I have never been to the extreme rural parts of India and this is gonna be very exciting. It won't be easy as I am just not used to a rural life. It would be a totally new experience and for 10 whole days!!!! HAHAHAHA! I am ready for the challenge
I would be leaving on 31st morning and would be back by 10th. Till then Sayonaara people! Bubyeeeee!
But before I leave, I just have to share this hilarious conversation I over heard. My neighbour's son is getting married. Their house is like a mini-chatram (marriage hall in tamil), so manyyyyyyyyy relatives. I over heard one of them telling everybody in the room,"
Nammalodu Kalayanam ellam vandootu romba SACREDLY DIVINE aakim."
Translation: "Our Tam-Bram marriages are so SACREDLY DIVINE!"
My god.......ROFLLLLLLL!
ahhahahahahaaa......SACREDLY DIVINE..... heehehehheee!
Also....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIDYA
You have a great day and all the best for everything in life.
Ciao guys! Tadah!
