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.
