On Specs and Spectacles | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/on-specs-and-spectacles
June 26, 2009 · 9:20 am. On Specs and Spectacles. The past week has been relatively uneventful. I’m trying as best as I can to take care of everything I need before I move from India back to the U.S., and I’m slowly but surely checking things off of my list. We’ve mostly been eating, walking, shopping, coffee-ing, and talking, with a minimal amount of touring, but primarily because the rains finally started up this week! School children after the rain. Cow in a raincoat. only in India! Fill in your detai...

Come and Gone | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/06/06/come-and-gone
A Study of Shavuot. June 6, 2009 · 11:06 am. My second day camp has come and gone. This week was an incredibly busy one, what with 10 youth and 30 children in and out of the office every day. Sunday was full of children for Gan Katan and youth for a leadership series session, led by a popular local lecturer. By the end of his program, the Szarvas youth were ready to finish their preparations for the week. By Sunday night at 7:30 pm, I was finally able to head home, for an early wakeup the next day. It wa...

Happy Shavuot | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/happy-shavuot
A Study of Shavuot →. May 29, 2009 · 11:37 am. Well, clearly I’m not quite celebrating Shavuot as they would at, say, Chabad, but I’m enjoying my free time in my own way: with (surprise surprise) a bagel and coffee at Bagel Shop! Hey, at least my bagel has cream cheese… and my coffee has a little milk. So I’m following the tradition of consuming dairy on Shavuot. And I might go make blintzes at a friend’s apartment tomorrow…. Rooting through the costume box. I’ve spent my evenings relaxing with goo...

Bombay Dreams | My year in Mumbai, India | Page 2
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/page/2
Newer posts →. May 23, 2009 · 7:45 am. This week was pretty typical: busy Sunday, lazy Monday, class Tuesday night, lazy Wednesday and Thursday. My Tanakh class is moving through the Book of 2 Samuel pretty quickly. I anticipate that before I leave, we’ll have started 1 Kings, which is exciting. Then again, I also still don’t know when departure will be… so I guess that’s an up-in-the-air statement. TV, loafcake, frosting, and milk - a happy evening. Cat joined us, then fell asleep on Sarahs leg. Familie...

Packing | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/packing
On Specs and Spectacles. July 6, 2009 · 9:17 am. I cannot believe I’m leaving tonight. This year has been such a whirlwind, and it comes to a close unbelievably soon. I know I’m not leaving it all behind – there’s no way I could leave and not take it with me (in clothes, especially! After Kristin left at the end of June, my friend, and former JSC volunteer, Noah, came through Mumbai for a couple of days, which were also my last at the office. Last Gan Katan class. Some of the girls. I feel so confused; e...

Nepal! | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/nepal
Two Weeks →. June 21, 2009 · 1:35 pm. Wow What a week away! My vacation with Sarah to Nepal was exactly what I was hoping for. I needed a break from the usual hectic travel I’ve been doing around India, and I found it on this vacation. We landed in Kathmandu around 1:45 pm on June 7. Emilie and Sarah, reunited. Emilie is working for a few months for an Israeli NGO called Tevel B’Tzedek. It was pretty tasty, though I have to say that I’m ultimately a devotee of Mumbai chaat. Now and forever. Bridge I jump...

Two Weeks | Bombay Dreams
https://arielinbombay.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/two-weeks
On Specs and Spectacles →. June 23, 2009 · 11:25 am. My days in Mumbai are dwindling. Two weeks from today (at almost exactly this time), I will be landing at JFK. What a strange thought. With my time here waning, and a college friend visiting, I’ve been doing a little last-minute touring. I revisited the Jehangir Art Gallery, the Gateway of India, and Colaba Causeway. I stopped into a favorite store for the last time, and I did my touristy street shopping (Bombay t-shirts? From my friend Melissa Weiss.
