I received an interesting compliment the other day. I was at the Jalari Village, which is where I do some of my interviews for my project, and the people there said that I looked like the moon. When my translator told me this, I was a little bit unsure if that was a good thing or not, but she told me it was. I don’t really know what it is supposed to mean, but my friends think it is probably because I have a round, white face. Haha. Oh dear.
I have been learning how to cook a few things with the cooks at our house. It is super great because then I will be able to cook all my favorite things when I get home. Exciting, eh? I just hope that I can do it as well as them, which sometimes I doubt, but maybe I can get somewhat close. I also bought a few small cookbooks so that should I ever want to try something else that is South Indian, I will have legitimate recipes.
We haven’t been doing as many trips now, which I am a little bit grateful for because I have lots of work to do. I have been working hard on my research, going with the translators to different places to interview a bunch of people about marriage and dowry. I feel like I am learning so much, and I am very grateful to have this opportunity.
Our Telugu language class is pretty difficult, but we do get to enjoy some humorous parts. Like how one of the first verbs we learned was “To Beat”. I guess this is an important verb to learn here. Hopefully I won’t actually need to use it that much.
