80 Days in India: Days Twelve to Sixteen

As you guys would have probably noticed (if anyone’s reading this in the first place), i’m posting less frequently. Yes, I’m getting lazier. 

Days 12 to 16 in India - roads below my office getting fixed; going to two bars (opus and toit with both my indian colleagues as well as international interns. love meeting new people, made a few other friends that day; 2 canadians, 3 from the netherlands, 2 more indians; felt like i was on exchange instead of an internship; SYLVIA ARRIVES YAY; watched my first movie in india (MI3); had macdonalds for the first time; celebrated sylvia’s birthday; went to malleswaram (old bangalore); saw road side stalls; bargained; bargained; more bargaining; went to the “largest shopping mall in india” (or so they say); HAD TACO BELL. 

and i’m feeling extremely mellow cause of this playlist i’m currently listening to: http://8tracks.com/emmatoy/i-m-in-like-with-you <3 

had a couple of conversations with my colleagues about arranged marriage. a lot of them are okay with it, and most parents are getting them to marry by a certain age (for girls its around 24-26, boys around 26-28). and surprisingly divorce rates in india are rising as well. and more people are willing to go for arranged marriage these days as well. is it me, or is there some sort of correlation here? 

had a conversation with the boys that day too. so many people out there are just ‘trying out for fun’. what’s the value of a relationship these days? has love come at such a cheap price? 

but anyhows, i’m loving summer, and i dont want this feeling to go away (:
