Archive-16 Dec party

16 december


There are some things to sing,
there are some things to sorrow,
some gossips, some talk to remember.
All things will be forgotten,
remembrance will get remembered.

Hello from Portugal!

Hey you all!

I'm now writing to show you some pictures that I took yesterday of my country!

The day was really nice and I went to sleep at some friends' place at the seaside, in a place called Troia that's around 50km south of Lisbon. (yeah, you can laugh at the name you italian pervs :P)

Here are some photos!







However now I'm already away from Troia and I came to my family's place in the mountains, in the northeast of Portugal. The mountain range is called "Serra da estrela" which actually means "Mountain range of the star", for some reason that I don't know!

I don't have recent pictures but here are some that my cousin, who lives here, took at winter time! The town you see in one of them is called Manteigas (literally, Butters) and that view is from my grandma's terrace!

Heliport Presentation

This morning Luca and I were treated to a slick presentation for a proposal for a new heliport in Rotterdam. Both Joao and KK had been working on this for a couple of months and it was great to see what they had come up with. It was also nice to finally see the Greg that had been the topic of much discussion.

We both thought the presentation was great - well done guys!

It would be the 18th "anniversary" of the communist massacre later today. Review the bloody incident, and be grateful of how some parts of the world does allow free speech. and no, i'm pretty sure not everyone in the world can see this post.

Thick as a brick? Thick as a Dutch!

Thick as a brick. Maybe its the best words to describe TU Delft. or, dutch in general. Stop forcing people to pay something like 150 bucks to do a stupid exam. XD
So, to those who need to do the TOEFL. AGURI!!!!!

In India

The time travels fast. I am here in my own country for more than two weeks and it is time to go back to Delft on 14th. I have been browsing through the development of salt 'n' Coffee and needless to say how much pleasing to know about floor mates across seven seas. Delft, when I left was almost in a paradise enviornment, something not common with Dutch weather.

Back in India, it is hot hot hot. With temperature rising above 35 degree centigrade, it is not an easy place to live. And back from pleasent enviornment of Delft, it is even harder. Then the train journey from Mumbai to my small village, Kadegaon in the south west India describes me a view of humble begining that I came from. There was a such pride of achievement generated in me when I remember back some hard times. My father, a simple person who has not yet crossed the bounderies of our provinance is very happy when I tell him about the people from distant lands. And it is equally difficult to my family to understand the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. According to them, if you are in love you should get married irrespective of economical or age related issues. As simple as it could get. They asked me how does it fill when the flight takes off, how does it fill when the first particles of ice touches your face, how does it fill to be there with the students of different countries. I have mostly educated and entertained them with those amusing yet true stories from the west. I told them about the system of canals, waters, big churches and tall dutch people. I told them and showed some of my photos from Marcushof (sober ones, mind you).

The time has come to go back Delft and resume the research. The place of Marcushof seems inviting.

Well..let's summarise these holidays..

Hey you all.. It's ( bloody) raining..Everything is green and grey outside there.What the..!The sun has been shining for such a long time...I was almost forgetting the Dutch rain.
This week of holidays has just finished..And to remind us this point, KK came back.. only half an hour ago...!And we are expecting also the other two guys to be back for the dinner..
Tanos, Nadia and Juan are already back as well...Marcushof level 3 last week was an Italian colony..Only SS and Danny were representing the Barbarian minority..
Marco's guests and Francesca enjoyed our floor..We had fun, definitely.And we have forgotten our poor English too...I hope the travellers could have forgotten theirs as well..Maybe for Andrew it could be unlikely..but we can always hope.
Well, after reminding you for a moment that also Rahul is missing (but you can all notice it by yourself) and greeting you all (hope also people not living in Marcushof..Maybe some friends of ours living in our own countries!!!) very warmly, I'll try to let you understand the spirit of these days!!!!
