Beer diaries 3

Another day, another beer. This time it was a fellow classmate's goodbye drink in the city. We were waiting for the other to finish dinner so we had a beer to begin with. It was the cheapest one on the list :P (Students cannot afford to be picky) I like this one. I tried it in Nice too. It is light and thus, not too bitter. 

Google tells me that it is a Belgian beer.

What luck! We had a little get together today hosted by my German classmate. And I got to taste two kinds of German beer. This is turning out to be quite interesting. 

After quite a terrible day, we had a delicious meal consisting of 5 different kinds of German sausages, some other German dishes and one Korean egg preparation. Oh, and two French pies. Oh and also an interesting chocolate with liquid coffee inside. 

So the beer journey continues. Lets see what tomorrow has to offer.

I really hope 2013 turns out to be a good year.

So I was at the supermarket. And I didn't even need anything. I just went because my friends were going to buy something. I was just looking at the aisles when I came upon these tiny bottles of beer. All different kinds. Strange and alluring. I whimsically decided to pick one up and try it. It being my last month in France and all that.

And now I'm planning to try at least two a week.  Don't want to sound like a drunkard but we don't get such a variety in India. And its rather inexpensive. Looking forward to the next one. This one was kinda strong.

The year that was: 2012

The year sure was eventful. A dream came true. Many new experiences. A great deal of traveling. A best friend married. Some silly mistakes. Some lessons learnt. A year older and I hope much wiser.

Highlights:

1. I made my first musical instrument. An iktara. Made me feel quite proud.

2. I worked at my first design internship. It was okay. I learnt a few things - travelling by public transport in Bombay was one of them. 

3. Volunteered at a theater over a weekend. It was fun.

4. Made a symbolic painting for the fella. I think the only one I made last year. (must paint more)

5. Finally saw a play at Prithvi Theater and more special as it was The Vagina Monologues.

6. Bought my dear DSLR and fell in love with it.

7. Saw the Eiffel Tower. Sigh. Double sigh.

8. Danced like crazy at my best friend's wedding. 

9. Celebrated a very Basque Christmas. 

10. Experimented a lot with food.

Songs that got me through 2012:

1. Moora - GoW II

2. Somebody that I used to know - Walk of the Earth

3. Someone like you - Adele

4. Bhondhu - Indian Ocean

5. Sparks - Coldplay

6. Mumford and Sons

Some memorable movies I saw:

1. Batman Begins and The Dark Night Rises.

2. The Help

3. Schindler's List

4. Problem with the Curve

5. English Vinglish

I hope 2013 turns out to be wonderful.

Words to use more often

Saw this on a tumblr account ... I really like some of the words, can't say I use them so often though. 

And then there are some I don't know the meaning of, which I must change. 

So here's to increasing my vocabulary this year. 

A Happy 2013. 

A post about the year gone by coming up soon.

My very own advent calendar

I never knew this concept of an 'advent calendar' until I came across one on a lovely website. The idea is pretty cool. Its like a countdown to Christmas. A very special calendar. And then I happened to find one at a local church that was really cute. 

Even though it is in French, I really enjoy opening a new flap every day. Just 9 days to Christmas :)

Band Baaja Baraat

So I was in India. At my best friend's wedding. And it was swell. I had so so so much fun. Danced, almost everyday, to loud bollywood/punjabi music. Ate delicious food and sweets - jalebis, rabdi, kulfi etc. etc. etc. And oh lets not forget the wine and mojitos.
