I’ve never
celebrated my birthday in a foreign country before; in fact, from my 14
th
birthday all the way to my 21
st birthday, I’ve spent August 14
th
on blisteringly hot football fields for marching band practice, or at the camp
where I work.
Well, the
blistering hot aspect of my birthday has not changed at all since switching my
residence to a new continent; the big difference was, in the US, we ate
cupcakes at rehearsal and we got right back to band. In India, people are much more excited about my day of birth than I am!

On Saturday
afternoon, I spirited off to Connaught Place to meet a friend of a friend of
Alexander. He had put me in contact with
her so that I could meet a girl my age in Delhi and learn some insider tips on
living in Delhi. Nithya was awesome blossom, and I’m really glad I got to meet
her.

We then
held our first rooftop partyand invited the other
ETA’s over, as well as Swati, our Indian guide to life. After a delicious meal
of pizza and beer (well, we are Americans) we chatted a lot and caught up with
each other. My roommates surprised me with a gift, and the other household of ETA's got a cake...so good! They were so kind. The next night my apartment group went out for Mexican food for my
birthday dinner, and it was delicious. We all like Indian food, don’t get me
wrong. But something about salsa and chips makes my heart start beating faster
and faster!
