Today we all seemed to be more comfortable with each other. We played during break, took videos and pictures during some of the work hour until Bhola asked for my camera and turned it off - with a smile of course;). Since I’m trying to catch up on a few days, I thought I’d talk about the food. Breakfast is typically a small portion of spicy potatoes and wheat tortillas, or chapaitis. Lunch consists of mostly rice covered in a daal, or lentil soup (Bhola and Suman must eat more rice than their body weights combined) and a small serving of curried vegetables. I have only attempted to eat with my hands once as I’m really messy and most of the food ends up on the floor. It will just take a little practice. You have to use your fingers like a scoop. Dinner is similar to lunch. Sometimes a special vegetable is made - fried eggplant, saag, or spinach, French fries. An interesting note: Siddarth is always served first, then myself, Bhola and Sumun in order. Tonight, Bhola brought some yummy rice dumplings his wife made to celebrate the rice harvest. They were filled with milk, sugar and jaggery or date syrup! Sweet ending to a full day.
