Party hospital partY

My last week started with a party and ended with a party. Last saturday, we went to Romain's place. I gotta admit, I really drunk without any limits! The result was a nice hangover and a quite huge black hole in my memory!
As I got my password back for my Outlook, I managed to work this week. I went as well to the hospital for a check up of my Shoulder. I will get the result of my X-ray and my IRM tomorrow monday. I think that things are ok but I will be sure with the IRM. By the way, better not to have clostrophobia to do it!
Yesterday there was a party at Gerald's place for the despedida (bye bye party) of Elise. She will go a few weeks in Thailand before going back to France. There was quiet a lot of people. Armel, the guy from Côte d'ivoire, bringed just a few friends more....like 20!! ha ha ha! This time, I managed to control my self and not to drink too much....like 16 beers and a few home-made ponche more! Good boy!

African music concert & Cricket

On wednesday, almost all the bunch of expat was present at the concert organized by the Alliance française of Hyderabad. They setted up an african concert with a band from cameroun. It's not really my kind of music but it was great fun and the singer was amazing!



After having diner and tryed the famous Chicken biryani with all the guys, we headed as usual to Jesus's place to have a few drink... As we ran out of whisky and like all the wines shop were closed, we bought some bags of alcohol at the fevala just at the side! Nope, there's no mystakes in this sentence!! I know we are crazy! The alcohol was ok.....for40 cents! ha ha ha!


Early morning, after having breafast and desperated of waiting for the wines shop to open, we started to play cricket, the national sport here. I really enjoyed the game...til one point! That just that I got a semi-luxation of my shoulder while tryin' to throw a fast ball. Bad luck and some memories of my injury of Barcelona. Like it was only a small luxation, I managed to put my shoulder back!! It's painfull but no so much in comparison of my first one.

Since this week, my password is not working any more to connect myself to my professional Outlook. As I don't have any answer yet of my company regarding that, I'm not working! Without Outlook I can't do nothing! I worked only on wednesday like I got an appointment in a IT company. But it's not my fault. :)

GOA trip!

I went to GOA on Friday till Monday. Basically, it’s a tiny state situated on the west coast of India. Goa isn’t really like the others parts of India. This state was still a Portuguese colony till the 60 – 70’s! I have to admit that this is really paradise there!!

Friday, after a fly in an old school plane of Air Deccan, I arrived at Goa Airport. I met Guillaume from the Explort formation and we headed to Vagator. It’s very small, lot of nature, beaches, 65cl bottle beer for 1€, 10€ for 10 gr of marijuana, expats, big parties!!! Amazing!!!! You really have to experience that!

Saturday, after checking out at Jackie’s, we went straight to Old goa with our fuck**g high driver!! Old Goa was the former capital of the state. There are still a lot of churches of the 15 – 16th century in a very good shape. The catholic influence was very huge here! After this sightseeing and historical break, we went to Panaji where we were staying for the night. It’s the capital of GOA. Actually, there are not so much things to see: an amazing church, some very colorful neighborhoods, George bar and the hospital for Guillaume! Hé hé.

Sunday, we went almost at the far end of the state till Palolem! The place is idyllic! This is one of the nicest beaches in the world…with not a single new building to fuck the landscape. There is almost only guest house and bar/restaurant in bamboo hut! The beach is really a paradise!!

I think there are no words to describe GOA. You have to experience it. Like the people say there “You are in Goa man, chill out! Enjoy!’ Here is some pictures, you will get a better idea! Definitely, I’ll be back there soon!!!

Happy D I W A L I

Tomorrow is Diwali! You're all wondering what is Diwali uh! They celebrate Diwali like the festival of lights where the lights or lamps signify the uplighting of darkness and victory of good over the evil within.

The day also commemorated the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya, after a 14-year exile in the forest, and thus the people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed him back by lighting up rows of lamps (deepa-wali), thus its name, Deepawali, or simply shortened as Divali.
Basically, the celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional dīpa or deeya (earthen lamp), and fireworks.

For my self, I will catch a flight tomorrow to go to GOA!! Some pics and a new post about this trip next week!

HAPPY DIWALI!!

Autorickshaw strike, beers and theatre

Hi people,

The last days we faced an autorickshaw strike. They were fighting against the fact that they will have to change their usual meters for digital ones!....and that they will have to pay for it and not the government. This new measure is to decrease the cheating on the price...but actually it won't change nothing at all. During the strike there was only a few autorickshaw, the consequence was very high prices and no meters at all! That was a quite pain in the ass to move from a place to the other!

Thursday I got my first appointment in an IT company. Things went great and the guys are interested in the product. We'll see those weeks what we can expect. After my meeting, I really really really needed to have some drinks. So we had diner and went to Jesus's place to drink beers, play the werewolf (as usual) and chess. Me, Jesus and Ayan lated till friday morning drinking ron!! After a funny try of Jesus to drive a moto, we shared a rickshaw with Ayan to go back home. As there was only a few one, I managed to get home by 8.30 am!!..
..Friday wasn't a very productive day....at all! hé hé. Anyway, after a drink in a so-called Pub next door, we headed to Armel's place. We got some beers in the roof and ended again me, Jesus and Ayan (the A(lcoholic)-team), helped with Cédric this time. Less drinking that the day before, but I came home at 5 am.

Saturday was a resting day! Sunday I went to theatre to see a play performed at the Central Institute of English and Foreign Language (CIEFL). It was great fun. The play lasted 3h and was in english (ouf!). It was nice to see all the references at the different hindis gods. I only really get the meanings of those references after the play, when an indian friend explained it to me. It's a very interesting mythology!
