Monday July 5, 2010:
We began our first academic day at MICA today with a session, for both the undergraduate and graduate group, on Indian Culture. The lecture was by a very knowledgable man, Sunil Parekh, of B Tech ITT India. He spoke about many facets of this multi-lingual, multi-racial, multi-religious country which also has such a large population and such diverse climates and agronomy. He was a very engaging speaker and I found the lecture to be fascinating. Unfortunately, toward the end of it I began to have very painful stomach cramps. By the time we returned to our home (about 12:30pm) I felt terrible. I missed our first session of the graduate Research Methodology class and went back to bed instead.
By the end of the day I wasn't feeling much better. I think the steady diet of Indian food caught up with me. Ugh. Sorry, no photos or anything more to blog about today.
