So, quick update. We have been grouped into different colleges which we will be studying in at the 3rd wk at Delhi Uni, and our group today went to an arts institute and made matkas, I type of terracota pot... and had a tour round the fashion studio of the designer and his brand Akaaro. First impressions of the huge loom still in use, the spinning wheel and the patterns cut from brown paper were quickly changed when we were shown th desgings in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Tatler magazine, with the designer and his collection showing at London and Paris fashion week. Pretty impressive stuff when you know where it has been designed!!
Tonight we were meant to be heading for the Red Fort to see a night time light display however due to the weather it has been cancelled. We were literally walking above ankle deep after maybe an hour of rain! ... so now we have the night off (managed to just miss the talk on railways, but mum don't worry, we get to visit a railway museum, so if you think about it, it's just cutting out the midde man)..
We also went to a market last night and I purchased the cutest cushion cover and bag (many more markets to come and much more to purchase, although slightly worried about how I will get it back!) At around 10pmish around 20 of us headed to a sheesha bar at Connaught Place just 10 mins away from the hostel and after a serious craving I managed to get some chips! ... and sheesha.
Anyway, I think a shower is in order...I shall grab my shower gel and head outside!!! xxx

ReplyDeleteI am working at a place that gets stuff from India do you want to see if they have any space in a container shipment ? Sounds like some serious shopping opportunities ("new stock purchase") coming up.
The railways are very important, you never know when you will need that information lady so you pay attention :)
