One more set of photos: of my house & host family

Here is the view out my window onto Raja Park. It’s a small park but it’s cute. I went running there one morning and it was predictably awkward, but much more pleasant than running in the streets. The small red booth-like thing you see on the sidewalk is where someone irons clothing. I don’t know who the fellow in white is in this picture, but he’s there a LOT.

The next two photos were taken from our rooftop at dusk. The views are quite nice. In the first photo you can see the fort on the hill way in the background. In the second photo you can see some of the decay (for lack of a better word) that is typical and, after a while, unremarkable.

And this is my host family and the other students I’m staying with. From left to right, approximately:

Dinyar (a student, in blue)

me (in orange)

Megin (a student, in blue)

Aditi (our host “sister,” in green)

Mathu (a student, above Aditi, in tan)

Arushi (our host “sister,” in red & tan)

Aunti-ji (our host “mother,” in lavender)

The other student who lives with us, Chloe, is taking the picture
