Sometimes my head feels numb, I don't think its ever done only read and write and think.....cooking, laundry, room cleaning, are all, once a week. Eating, bathing and sleeping are daily....Its a very limited life this, some call it a luxury, I am still not sure...
Went upto the music auditorium and sat through an hour and a half of a concert by a student. Pieces were composed as part of his final exam. The next week went for a Japanese concert - Gagaku - ancient music and dance form. Yet another day watched the students of theatre perfom ' Waiting for Godot' - Beckett.
Made a presentation at the Wednesday evening seminar at the East West Center on wetlands, the panel was on water. Enjoyed working with students from Pakistan,Nepal, Pacific islands.
This blog is looking pretty boring, its a reflection of my life?? Its been very study focussed and these performances are the only spaces I give myself out of this.
Last weekend was the International Potluck of the East West Center students. Spent a short while helping my friend from Peru make some elaborate dishes. The chillies were yellow pepper and they were hot. There was food from 16 countries for sampling. I can't even remember what I ate. I only know I slept like a log in the middle of the day, first time in Hawaii!
Before I forget my hands are blistered from weeding the little garden plot I have taken over from Vandana. The plot has a curry leaf tree and a banana clump. Have planted some chillies, beans, basil, thyme and tomatoes. Will plant some mint tomorrow. I decided to keep my feet free of mud and wore the boots and now my feet are all blistered, a little mud would have hurt less!!
This was my break from the term paper that I am composing on Coevolution...Just finished the NTFP paper and 2 proposals ( 2 page ones).
