Informal Evening

That's Samina in the kitchen moulding the Chappatti. Mari and i helped out too! ended up playing with the dough. haha fun.
This curry was great! even eggplant, which i normally wouldn't eat, tasted good!

Had a great dinner at Samina's place today.
Well, it lasted for well over 4 hours... not the actual dinner but the nice, long relaxed chats we had.
i had 4 cups of tea! haha Mari's eyes lit up everytime the word 'tea' was mentioned.

-Thank you for coming with me girl, hope you enjoyed urself!

Just sitting and talking was really refreshing. Especially when u're with a woman who's accomplished not just academically, but who's caring, inspirational, smart and heart-warming.
I've learnt alot, not just how to interact with people but how to deal with different situations. She's somebody who's had to deal with huge, i mean HUGE challenges in her line of research and work. It's funny how God places people in your life, and how much favour He promises to give you. I am deeply grateful and thankful, no matter what the thesis grades say... i've come out stronger, more resilient, i want to keep learning and improving.

haha, I did enjoy it. Yes, the copicous amounts of tea drunk probaly added to the enjoyment. But I can see why now you've enjoyed working with her this year.
