Well..this is my first post..I am a student from indian institute of technology madras (iitm for short) currently on an exchange program to insa-lyon, france...this afternoon i was feeling a little jobless and felt i should do something interesting..and a journal about myself is interesting ( to me at the least! but i hope you like it)..
At this moment i am sitting in the lab in the Infomatique department..thats what computer science is called here....just finished my intensive french course..5 hours..horriblement....they teach french in french..so..you can imagine..I am usually lost in class..but I do know how to say..Je n'ai pas compris..i have not understood :)....half the time i feel stupid and inadequate ....especially when the teacher looks at me and says..Compris? Understood?.....but hopefully i will get over it....other than that..over the next few days i have to decide my project.....might be in image processing...i dont know
There are about a dozen indians here...6 from indian institute of technology delhi.. J Amit (my friend from iitm, we came together) and a few other french born indians i have not met...but we are getting quite friendly with the iitd guys...
A couple of days back Amit and I went to the cathedral fouvier..its on the top of a hill and quite amazing...it was originally built in the 16th century..it has all these really ornate mosaics and statues...its the most beautiful church i have seen....we met a french priest there...who looked just like in the movies so to speak...he took some interest in us...these people are so friendly...when we told him we were hindu..he asked us if we want any material on christianity etc...but obviously..we didnt..
Okay..thats all for now..till the next post..bye

Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: What?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
