I’ve moved to Girinagar for the next two weeks. I’m living with two bachelor brothers from
Andhra Pradesh. They are Telugu speakers
and not the usual Brahmin family that I’ve always seemed to live with. They are, however, still vegetarians but do
eat garlic and onion. Dr. Daya was
saying these are avoided because of their aphrodisiac effects. I say that not seeing or touching girls until
marriage is probably enough of an aphrodisiac that food probably has little to
no effect.
Today was my first day without the usual Auntie force-fed
meal. I went out and got chocolate cake
and mango for breakfast. I later went
and got Maggi and a pomegranate for lunch.
It’s both good and bad to have my independence back.
I worked on the computer for most of today. I’m ready for my
Bosching tomorrow.
PS: I almost had close to a full conversation in Kannada
today with the man at the mango shop.
