stars eat planets

(Leh, last summer, being eighties and cold in India)

With February long past and March fast whizzing around my head and into the realm of memory too, I've been keeping myself busy.

Having had a week off school, I spent a lovely ten days exploring yet another area of India and basking in the warmth of the soon-summer sun. With phrases of poetry (think T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath, Margaret Atwood) floating around in my head, and a large rucksack packed hastily last Friday, I set off to Bombay. I travelled with a German co-year, a Malaysian first year and one of my second years - Rosie, who'd flown back over for another four-month jaunt around India. Together, we covered Bombay, Hampi and Bangalore at a leisurely, reading-filled pace, which was a well-needed breather following the hectic final-deadline-hand-it-all-in style of February.

I haven't quite gotten round to getting photographs off my co-years as yet, and it's currently UWC-week, which I'm rather proud about. More on everything soon, hopefully.

Love from India!
