STF in India: Guest Post by Jancy & Saritha

[Editor's Note: This post was written and photographed by Jancy, Saritha, and Chaithra, three Shanti Bhavan graduates.]

Yesterday the four of us (Jancy, Maheshwari, Shilpa, and Saritha) went to visit Jyoti Nivas College, where we are going to study. It was the first time we traveled by bus alone to Bangalore. It was an interesting experience. A few SB alumni, Chaithra, Kavitha, and Lilly, helped us to fill in the forms for paying the fees for the courses we are going to take.

Here is our photo journal of the day:

This is the gigantic auditorium of our college. Saritha can't wait to play the piano while Jancy will sing in the choir.

This is what we had for lunch in the cafeteria. The waiter gave us four options of dishes for 15 rupees each: rice, poori, plain dosa, and chappati. The picture shows a meal with rice, curry, chutni, yogurt, vegetable salad, and boti (the cylindrical colored things, which are Maheshwari's favorite).

Actually...Jancy doesn't even like coffee.
