The morning of the 3rd trekking day gave us the first clear weather, meaning a great sunrise view to the 3rd highest peak in the world, between Nepal and India.

A VERY improvised concert in a pouring rain. Our "Evil Eclipse Trio" began to play at 4:30...

Thank you Ville!

Ville is my dear, oldest Friend (in friendship years) and an it-guru, whom I worship and on whom I rely what comes to this blog for example. It's because of Ville's help and valuable instructions that I'm able to share my experiences through web, which I'm of course grateful about.

Visit Ville's web (NOT a blog...as he often corrects) at www.unessa.net ! Years of excellence and bullshit in web-publishing! Go for it, jätkä!

Thank you Ville!

Day 32: Mahatma Gandhis's Birthday 2.10

Rainy Day in the campus; didn't matter. I was effective. From the morning; meditation, studying, laundry, lunch, call to Kaisa, more studying, some playing, blogging and finally AN INDIAN MOVIE!

What could have been better movie on the birthday of "Father of India". "Mahatma Gandhi was assasinated in 1948, only a year after the Indian indepence. Our movie was a family-drama about a father who, because of and childhood-trauma believed he had murdered the great leader. The movie was called "Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara, "I didn't kill Gandhi". Go see it, if its available in Europe.

Our film was of course without subtitles, but they had some (funny) English idioms and sentences in between the dialogue in Hindi (common to Indian movie, English is one of the official languages, after all). I sat next to Abhishek, so I also got some translation help. Good experience.

Pizza Hut,

Before that we had a pizza in Pizza-huttunen and afterwards coffee with a brownie. I really needed that after a month. Tasted great! The funny thing, I would never go to a Pizza-Hut in Finland, but here...now the Indian food tastes great again!

Just came to my room (2:15am) after a rather good band rehearsal. Gig on Tuesday. We'll doing fine. One is my song, "A Lullaby", love song for Kaisa! Sweet!
