HAPPY NEW YEAR from (Incredible) India

No I haven't been abducted by elephant-riding bandits, thanks for the concern though Eveline. Laziness and frustration with the slow network has put me off blogging and uploading photos all this while.
We're currently taking a course called 'Transcreativity' with the new batch of CCC* people, who are somewhat like the ADM of MICA. The course is a welcomed relief from all the hardcore business modules and directionless electives that we're ploughing through with the PGP** gang.
*CCC - Crafting Creative Communications. This is an intensive 6-month course that MICA offers to outsiders that focuses on print and broadcast advertising. The current batch consists of around 20 people who have just moved into campus 3/4 days ago. I've learnt today that it is very scary and dangerous to play frisbee with the CCC guys.
**PGP - Post Graduate Program. This is what the main bulk of the students are here for.
The aim of the workshop is to help us get in touch with our hidden creativity, i suppose. So we spent CNY watching a traditional Indian dance demonstration and a magic show. Absurd as it sounds (like almost everything here), I'm not complaining because I'm getting two free AUs to BE INSPIRED.
The best dancer from the whole troupe was Korean. She has spent the last four years studying traditional Indian dance in India. There was a dude on drums who looked like Vivian Balakrishnan, as in the MP.
Magic show
Martial arts
Traditional indian music. That's the auditorium we're in. There are cushions for everyone to sit on instead of seats with attached tables. Anyway the drawing that Erwin is holding up is his caricature of Kash, which made Romain and I laugh uncontrollably...not a good thing when there's a performance and less than 25 people are in the auditorium.
CNY eve was spent at Mirch Masala, where I could get MEAT. We treated the Frenchies and Harshal to reunion dinner - great cheese naan and chicken, chicken and more chicken. Leigh has the group photo of all of us but I'm too lazy to walk over to get it from her so this is the only thing I have...
Crazy Kash
Leigh's friend sent over a package with CNY goodies and it arrived just on time. Notice the look of glee on her face.
I apologise for the shoddy write-up about what has happened ever since the Udaipur trip. I have photos in my camera of stuff that we did but I haven't gotten around to upload them. Free time is spent either playing frisbee, playing badi (badminton), or snacking at Micafe. I haven't been healthier since the last time I had PE lessons.
Til the next time I force myself to blog, adios.
