I went to a crafts fair today with one of my friends. There wasn't much people in the morning, but the place was completely packed in the afternoon. It was tiring but great to see many crafts and artifacts from various places of India. We tried Assam state's special breakfast, and it was very tasty---kind of reminded me of Japanese sweets.

Though I have so much work to do, I decided to make my first gyoza in India! I made the wrapping skin with organic brown whole wheat flour, and used minced chicken, instead of pork. I think this is the best dish I have ever made so far in India. And I also got a lettuce for the first time, which I had thought would be costly, but was inexpensive.
I'm putting some photos of yesterday's parade, which I borrowed from other websites. On the way home from the ceremony, I got shrimps from the fish market and cooked with broccoli. I made sure the shrimps were well-cooked but I kind of overcooked the broccoli...
No class today due to the students union's strike. It's good for the students, but for me it's not so good, since I made a plan already and now have to modify it.
The semester hasn't fully started, so I've been feeling much relaxed these days. But from tomorrow, all of my classes will begin, and on Thursday, I have 4 classes, which will be a little too much for one day...
Today's dinner. A soup with sole and Chinese bock-choi.
It was quite warm yesterday, but got foggy and chilly again today. As usual, got off work around 3 o'clock and took an auto-rickshaw, but on the way to home, the main road was closed and I had to walk back home...Apparently, there was a fire at the petrol station and it was on today's news paper. I can never relaxed here, because you never know what would happen next....
Just a year ago I arrived at Delhi Airport, and soon after got outside the smell of gunpowder got my nose. As I think of it now, the smell was from someone making a fire to warm themselves. It rained a little bit in the morning, and got colder than yesterday. New semester with the new year's resolutions starts.
