Time to switch diaries. Though I still have some catching up to do in my 2013 diary.
At the moment, I'm in India so we celebrated New Years 5.5hours earlier than in England. We just lit some fireworks and met the neighbours in our India house.
So far in my holiday:
On the plane, I watched 4 films - Epic, Monsters University, English Vinglish and In Time. Liked the concept of the last film. Also, I don't like Mumbai airport. So congested! We only made it to our flight due to the help of the staff ushering us along.
On the first day, it was my mums birthday. It turned out to be a really nice party because all our family in the neighbourhood were able to come. And we ate at a nice restaurant. They made this delicious man chow soup and this sweet corn thing which included a carrot carved into a flower. Need to learn to make that.
Mostly I've been chilling at home or at my grandparents house. My room is furnished and I quite like it. Been out and about to ice cream parlours and on motor bike rides (though not as many as usual sadly). Also been on a 12 hour road trip twice and eaten at dhabas. I've also befriended quite a few stray dogs. There's also been lots of new babies. I've used the word also a lot (it is a very good word though).
I've been playing carrom a lot the past few days. I need to buy a board to take back to England.
The thing with visiting India, it sort of feels like things don't change. It feels like a timeless zone to me, only a few cousins are younger than me so they grow and look different, but most of my relatives don't seem to change. But it's quite sad that my time spent with family are just snapshots in my life; just a few weeks every year.
I'm flying back soon which is sad. I'm going to be so jet lagged at school.
Also today the new Sherlock series is released! But I'm missing it :((((
