still kicking.

for the past three weeks i have been fending off some sort whacked stomach virus, drinking enough chamomile tea to fill a small swimming pool and popping ginger pills like its my job. thus, the creativity in blogging has been nonexistent and i apologize in advance for the awfully lame post.

this weekend, the women of woodstock decided to venture down the mountain to the boiling city of dehradun for a day of fabric shopping and sightseeing. i have never spent that much time with that many women in my entire life, and somehow, i made it through alive..in fact, it wasn't even half bad..
we began the morning in clement town, a tibetan buddhist community that is home to what is believed to be the world's largest stupa (a mound like structure filled with buddhist relics used as a place of worship).

inconspicuous.

as is the case with tibetan culture, prayer flags were hanging in abundance, along with numerous dalai lama insights spread throughout the grounds.

odd. and of course, lauren terry had peanuts in her bag.

when uploading photos from dehradun, i discovered i have quite a few pictures i have not posted from random school events throughout the semester. featured here is midlands open house. midlands is the dorm for grades 10-12 girls; each month one dorm hosts an open house, the grocers bring their tuck (junk food) to sell, there are carnival games, talent shows, loads of good food and an all around good time. here are a few glimpses into the jungle of midlands..

saroj and paranthas.

priya and sara, midlands dorm parents serving a delicious jungle juice..non alcoholic of course.
