The days have passed quickly in Bibione. Tomorrow we shall go back to Bologna, even if I don't start working till Wednesday 29th June.
Updating my three blogs (in English, Hindi and Italian) has been impossible in these days, because I was feeling lazy, so I decided to give precedence to the blog in Hindi because that gives me an opportunity to practice writing in Hindi on my computer. I have written it in unicode on Takhti even if because of the Italian keyboard, I am unable to write 'e' and some other signs.
Long walks along the sea, a lot of sun, some swimming in the sea and some book-reading - my holidays can be summarised in these few activities. I have turned darker and hopefully leaner in these days, though I am afraid to go and check my weight on the weighing machine!
Fortunately it is still not very hot but Bologna would be hotter and more humid.
In the June issue of Hindi magazine Hans, I have read Mini didi's (Archana Varma) poems and one very powerful self-story or atam-katha by a professor of journalism in Delhi, Mr. Shauraj Singh Bechain.
The Bechain story, is really well written, it is the story of his life as a child labourer and his journey from being "Ganghi chamar's grandson" to the school. The contrast between the situations in the story and the holiday life here with the seaside tourists is so extreme. Probably because of it, words from his story keep on resounding in my head for days.
Here are some pictures from these holidays in Bibione. You can click on them for a bigger view.
