Namaskara!
Namaskara is used as hello in Kannada. Why Kannada? Because it’s November, and today I leave for a 7-day trip to Karnataka with my college. Woo-hoo!
It’s my college’s annual history trip, this year, it’s to Bijapur, Badami, Pattadakal and Aihole(hehehe). I leave by train at 9:15 tonight, get to Bijapur tomorrow, visit the Gol Gumbaz and stuff and spend the night in Bijapur. Sunday, I leave for Badami, where I’ll stay for the next four days, visit a ton of caves and UNESCO World heritage sites around the town and get on a train back home on Thursday and finally return home on Friday. Phew!
School trips were always fun, but they were short and most the places were meh. That’s not the case this time around. It’s me and my clique of 5 classmates, to a ~good~ place for 7 flipping days. Should be fun. Plus, there’s only 24 students on the trip, and most of them senior college students, which means less obnoxious teenagers, which is great. So good. Tremendous. ‘We’re going to build a wall! Around all obnoxious teens.’
I’ll miss US election week, and I doubt how good the cell reception is in the Satvahanas’, the Chalukyas’ and the Adil Shahis’ ancient capitals. Still, there’s always BuzzFeed.
So fellas, enjoy November, the month we realise holy shit! the year’s almost over. I got some packing to do now.
‘Tis, mate, was the Weekly Email Blast, email 85. Happy holidays !!!
