oh the holidays have been a blast! and really tiring at many points. so i'm back at the painfully familiar point where ambitious plans and time-tables are confined to a single post-it on my reminders board. even blogging, despite out of that list, had been postponed for a week now. productivity and tiring aside, the india trip we went for through the school was just AWESOME! extra extra emphasis on the adjective. there couldn't be a better way for us to bond and have so much fun! yeah about the learning about the places part, i have to refresh sometime soon, hopefully (much to the disappointment of my parents i couldn't even recall at which towns i took the respective pictures). the weeks with my relatives after the trip wasn't as exciting but really refreshing and fruitful. got to spend time with my grannys and great grandmothers and cousins and buy lots of chudithars! :D and somehow, despite visiting my homeland almost every year since i migrated here, this time was really something different. i was able to analyse and appreciate the lifestyle there, and come to understand the elders' past and expectations. there was so much to learn this time. including the effects of procastinating self-training even with skipping rope and weights at hand. i couldn't even touch a single net and keep up with shuffling and running when i got back! okay major catching up to do. totally rusty! but all in all, best india trip for hols so far (:

Bay of Bengal Begums! At Bay of Bengal Beach.
thus, the name.

Elephant at thanjavoor temple! that cool vanangufying it's doing costs Rs 10.

so the bus broke down at padma seshadhri school right and we were all bored waiting so we took random pictures. this is a classic attitude picture. supposed to look 'dao' see. but we unpros sorn arathi and i didn't execute it very well. cos sorn was quite agitated by my random pose thinking i was going to dig her nose or something haha. and arathi was jiggling next to me laughing at don't-know-what and cropping my eye.
