Weekend in Delhi Pt. 2

Last weekend, I had the chance to travel to Delhi again, this time with the other 3 interns. The purpose of our visit was to attend an Indian Premier League cricket match, widely considered the best club cricket in the world. There are few things in life that I enjoy more than watching live sporting events, and I had never been to an international sporting event of any kind, so needless to say, I really, really enjoyed the match. The atmosphere was electric, the match was suspenseful, and it was a unique cultural experience on many levels. Highlight of the weekend: when I was picking up my tickets at the box office the day before the match, a few teenage guys thought I was Australian cricket player David Warner (pictured at right) and asked me to sign their shirts. So I played along and signed his name in all caps. :)

Work at the office is pretty steady right now as we try to publish our design report for the orphanage by the end of next week. I'm doing all of the water supply and wastewater design for that, so I'm gaining some valuable experience and getting pretty darn quick on AutoCAD. I also started Hindi classes again this week after a 2-week hiatus, and I'll probably continue taking them until I leave at the end of May. I think I'm finally at a point where I can semi-converse with people in Hindi, which is great, but I'm pretty sure my brain is out of room for more vocabulary and grammar rules. So we'll see how the next couple weeks of classes go.
