Shep in Delhi: 83rd

Lodi gardens for morning walk, here I come!

Edit: now that was far more successful. I finally got all of my movies from Kruttika and didn't get too scammed on the autos. However, I am now already a quarter of an hour late for our office meal to celebrate finishing Dancescapes. And am nowhere near the restaurant.

I finally feel like I can be excited about Goa. Alka has decided that it doesn't matter if I complete the whole essay because I've done so much and she's got so many ideas. Naturally I feel bad as it's not completely finished, but I could plausibly finish it in these last two days.
I also very almost got the money from her to go to Paris for the exhibition that the K S text is for, and that's very exciting!

Edit: am on the way to the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in Noida. I've never seen a city being built before. It's quite amazing!

Edit: just went to a stimulating feminist discussion centring around a piece called Record/Resist by Sheba Chharchhi. A few of the people who spoke seemed yo want to reminisce but since the piece was made from photos of protests over twenty years ago, I suppose that is inevitable. The artist made it quite an open discussion by seating us in a circle and asking people to speak at random. Most of these people were feminists invited by her, but the guy next to me who was just a young student was asked, so I became very worried that I would be asked as I had no contribution. As soon as it looked like I wouldn't be asked I immediately thought of some things to add. For instance: that Delhi seems to be an ideal site for feminism as the traditional people who come from the country to the city are brought up so differently to the urban population that it throws up questions as to how the movement can successfully educate despite diversity. Also that things like the separating of women in the metro seems to be reactionary as by splitting up men and women it divides rather than unites the sexes through forced genial interaction. Having a female coach seems to say that women need to be protected by the state as they're not strong enough to look after themselves.
