I have been inside ever since I came here. I have had a few trips but that's probably two weekends. Otherwise I just stay inside. A very bad thing to do if you are in Germany. There is so much to do and being inside just intenses the boredom. Its 6:15 am on a Friday morning, and I am writing this. Thursday was a day of sleeping out of hunger. I dont think I mentioned it, but I am fasting for reasons only god knows, and so the whole day my mind only thinks about food in the EO (The cafe at the uni, awesome food). I just had an omlette though made out of weird looking eggs. Eating before sunrise you see. Sleepy cooking, but I think I made a fine pre-breakfast. I was just looking out the kitchen window, and the city looked beautiful. There is a canal next to my place, and during the day you see birds (swans, ducks, I dont know) making all kinds of noises in the water. During the night, its much peaceful but cold. Its 5 C outside, and looking out the window, seeing the city getting chills, just feels good. Also, while doing that I realized I have not really seen the whole city. I have just probably seen the areas around the campus, and assumed the city ends there. My flat mate (who is up reading a book till now, and I thought I had sleeping issues), just told me to kill my boredom I should go and check out the city. May be Friday is the day to do that. But you see my fasting doesnt help walking. I need to get used to the whole not eating part. I live in Jungbusch, and I have been told its unsafe. Really!!! Coming from Delhi and then from Philly, it seems pretty safe to me. I have walked alone through the area so many times, and apart from some shady looking people, I never seemed to have a problem. Actually when I walk through the area, I hear people speaking in all kinds of languages (or may be just one), apart from German and English. I havent seen many Indians, so I miss speaking in Hindi. I have to trouble my friends back home all the time, and then speak to them in Hindi. So today's plan hopefully: PLAN A: Be random and see the city. Take the tram get off anywhere, look around and then take the tram back. I have heard there are a couple of Museums here, however much I dislike Museums I think I should give it a try. How hard can that be. PLAN B: I have a lot of reading to do for my classes, I can do that as well, but I suck at reading for classes. I have no idea how do people to PHDs. Beyond me. PLAN C: Sleep through the day, or go to Asia's, see her having a cup of coffee and chat and gossip. Finally someone I can do that with. Random: I forgot to mention that the whole Polish gang is out except Asia, to see Paris. So I have my room to myself for three days. Woohhhooooo!!!! Its not like I like living alone, but this seems refreshing :)
