festival season has come (and gone…) since i last blogged. though i have not had a chance to leave the city since shimla, delhi life has kept me busy. I have celebrated diwali, twice, gone to see a russian dance troop at jnu, met countless politicians, had four hundred guests over for a concert at the ambassador’s residence, and not least gone to my first ever festival in india.

next week my parents are coming to visit, and i will yet again be off exploring. this time kashmir and calcutta.

delhi student politics. interesting.

crazy russian dancers

festival of lights

lights, lights, and even more lights

playing cards as one does on diwali

i spent the entire evening taking pictures of the fireworks, and this is my only good one

we launched the norwegian government's india strategy this week. unfortunately, due to rain it was mostly used as makeshift umbrellas

secret garden and our improvised roof
