Leaving Ganiyari

Today is our last day on campus. We will spend the night and then move to our new apartment tomorrow. Dolly is very sad about this, as she is a very social person, and has made many friends. I am more ambivalent, as I am looking forward to the comforts of having our own palce, and I have a language barrier with almost all of the people here. That said, we will now have to find a way to spend our evenings, and hopefully find a new circle of friends.

Last night we had a mini jam session with me on guitar and Anil on harmonium. It was kind of messy, as I don't have a good handle on Indian music, and he doesn't have a good handle on western music. The songs to me sounded like random noodling, and to add to the difficulty he very much preferred the black keys, which meant that I had to figure out what key(s) that meant I should be playing in. He didn't know any chord names or which notes were which so I couldn't ask/tell him what to play. We got it sounding good for a while when I did show him C and G and had him playing those. Unfortunately, I don't know when the next one will be, as my guitar will be going back to Bilaspur and we won't be spending our evenings here.
