Day 30, Saturday, Moving into Shashi's Room

Today is India's independence day, so the streets will be crowded with a lot of random celebrations. I will avoid going out to see them.

I got up a late, but went down to the gym anyway. In honor of the Holiday, there were some parents watching their kids going through some sort of...kid show.

My roommate Ankit is housing his girlfriend for the next two weeks. She flew into Bangalore last night, so I've moved out of that room and into Shashi's room. With the girlfriend over, there is some silliness going on. It seems that they will not be coming out much, and that they will be secluded in the bedroom for most hours of the day.

Moving in with Shashi was strange at first because the two of us had had very little rapport. One thing he and I both have in common is that we are very quiet. It is effortless to "be myself" in the sense that I can be quiet around him. We don't exchange many words. I feel comfortable sleeping in his room, though - more comfortable than I did in Ankit's room. I'm not sure why that is. When I get into my mosquito net, I often have a blanket thrown over the top, so I can't see or hear much. It's like sleeping in a coffin; it strongly promotes sleep.

Most of today, tomorrow, and likely Monday, will be consumed with attempts to rush as many updates as I can to my website(s). I am bitter, but I "don't have time" to work on studying. This is a violation to the rule in my philosophy about working on a diverse set of activities, and I will likely regret it very soon.
