As many of you are i'm sure, I have fallen victim to the social networking jungle that is Facebook. A few months back, I got a friend request from someone named "Shreyas". When I viewed his profile, we had no friends in common, and I was sure we had not met before. That, and the fact that he lives in Bangalore, India. But instead of immediatley ignoring his request as i usually do when i am sure I do not know the person, I just left it there. For some reason I couldn't bring myself to reject him. I guess I figured it was either a fake profile (many people make these in order to steal your login information... i still don't get what they get out of that haha but yeah..) .. or there was some other reason this person had tried to contact me. So I just kind of forgot about him, and then just last night I was on Facebook and I decided to send him a message asking if we know each other from somewhere or not. He wrote me back and said that his friends had hacked his account and sent random friends requests to many people. He seemed so sweet though that I agreed not to delete him from my friend's list and we ended up talking for a long while. He sent me pictures of Bangalore, and we discovered we had a lot in common. Then he told me that he goes to Oxford.... and I started to suspect he might be lieing, but it didn't make much difference to me.
A few of the most beautiful pictures he sent me are these:
Bangalore during a festival called Diwali.

I think it's beautiful :)
First day of class was yesterday. The science class seems pretty easy. But the American History since 1890... the teacher is one of those harder-than-usual teachers that justifies his difficulty be claiming to be easier than "all the other professors". Seriously considering dropping... plus the class is at 6:30! i hate night classes >:O But maybe I should man up, right?
I am going to spend the night with Erena tonight. We are going to an Eritrean Barbecue. I can't wait for that. I love Eritreans :) AND Barbecue.
And I'm desperate for food :(
Feed me!
p.s. Jorwan means twin in Urdu. Fun fact.
