Celebrating the arrival of the couch

One of the many quirks of Delhi is the "unfurnished" apartment. Since I'm here for just a short while, I didn't want an unfurnished apartment. But that's what I ended up with (and now that I have lived here, I am actually very happy with my place). I figured I needed to buy a bed and that's about it. Little did I know that unfurnished meant no fridge! I guess I should be thankful that I have a sink and shower in my bathroom. It's just one of those things you would never think to ask. Well now I know.

In any case, my roommate who is going to be here long term has bought a fridge, and a couch and a coffee table. So the place is livable. And I am also borrowing his old bed (now do you see why I'm happy with my place?). With all these new accouterments the place was ready for a party. And since I don't really know many people, what better way is there? Threw a house warming party the weekend of Jan 30th. Lots of drink and lots of people. It was a pretty kickin' party. Too bad I can't really remember names or who I met that night.

Here are some pics my roommate uploaded. There is a guy in these pics who looks a lot like me and is pretty drunk. It's not me, he just looks like me. And he really really REALLY needs a haircut.
