mostly here
I arrived in Delhi last night, sitting with a fellow Berkely Urdu studier, Sadaf, from georgetown. She’s a religious studies wonk, as is the third fellow, Brian. We got to the guest house by 2 am, me heartbroken by the pain of separation. There’s a word for ‘one who suffers from separation from her lover’ in Urdu. I’ll write it here when I remember it.
I brought my aunt Mira 30 vaginal speculums and 15 pounds of cat food. I forgot the perfume and fancy liquor.
We’re heading to Lucknow on Tuesday, and I won’t be back to Delhi till the 24th, when I hand over the eccentric presents to my beautiful aunt, visit Ravi Satkalmi and Robyn McGuckin, and go to an Italian restaurant.
Mostly I just want to say that I can be reached on skype by the user name rosedakin, and also my hotmail address rosedakin@hotmail.com.
I keep thinking of new orleans and rehnquist, wishing I was in washington around those conversations. The discontinuity is difficult.
