Ludhiana extra curriculars week of july 4th

In trying to think of articles to write for the newsline, someone in the group suggsted that I write an article on what young people do for fun in Ludhiana. This has now been taken up as a group project, with help from Taran, another newsline traine,who has written articles on the lack of things to do and the lack of any clubs (thanks taran!). Anyways, this week we ahve explored may of the exciting things Ludhiana has to offer. On Monday, Sailaja lead the group to Cafe Coffee day and we sat in the heat (power was out) while she interviewed the customers and workers for her article on coffee culture. we also went to webworld, which is on mall road and is an excellent internet cafe with fun decor and excellent service. at webworld, 'would you like fries with that?' has been replaced with 'would you like to recharge your accoung?'- ten times in one hour we are asked by the two women who usually sit at the counter. Lindsay and I went to ghumar mandi and bought nailpolish and an indian hair scrunchie. yes! I am not sure what happened monday night...something did, i'll get back on that. On Tuesday we had a visit from masterji, my harmonium and voice teacher from last summer. Masterji is an amazing musician, and we were all feeling very happy to hear his composition. after the lesson we took a nap, then got up to go shopping for shawls at sharman shawls factory. becasue we were at the factory we got great quality for a low price, and there was a fabulous selection. most of us picked up at least one shawl and i think are planning to go back. at night we went with the bals to coronel's cabin, famous for kabobs and chicken briyani. the food was wonderful as was the music (eminem, madonna, etc). after dinner we went to bakes and beans for chocolate cake, ice cream, and dr. bal had mango cheesecake. it was too too good! wednesday we went to see hum tum in the movie theater with aditi translating. the theater was nicer than many in the US and we had fruit and nut chocolate so that added to the experience. quality times. i am sure i am forgetting things, but thats a bit of a recap of extracurriculars the last three days.
