My new room-mate in the hospital is from Tanzania. Except for Simba,(meaning lion.. really.. in Swahili)the son-in-law, no one speaks english. Therefore the nurses speak to them in Hindi. "They don't understand either, so what difference does it make."

My mother told the psychologist that I seem to be uncomfortable with them. I think she was uncomfortable. Indians are scared of Africans. I am quite comfortable except for the dirty toilet seat. Simba is very smiley.

There is a new nurse, Limbu or something, I will check her name on her ID tag when she comes tomorrow. Like most of the other nurses here she is from Kerala and has never been out of the state before this. I told her that it will all be fine, she is going to be in the hospital mostly.

I went around at lunch time to see how she was doing. I told her to go for lunch. I know how scary and bad you feel being in a strange new place where you can't even speak the language. She was really nervous. The only problem with her is that her english is not very good. I guess she will pick up.

I should be sent back home on thu/fri. Its been over 3 weeks. Not many friends came to visit. Maybe they don't know and if they do, don't care. I do not matter much. I have not been successful in creating a network of friends who deem me important enough. That is bad for networking. Friends are one thing, very important, but even acquaintances must at least think that you are important enough to visit. But I am not. I have no power. The only place I could exert power and control was over the weighing scale. I am master of it.

I am going to be fine. I love eating. I am really enjoying food. I am waiting for prince charming to take me to a nice, expensive place for dinner, where the food is presented well.

I was thinking, I want Prince C to be a doctor, specialist.. maybe neurosurgeon. Doctor is good. I like the type who have studied hard at some point. Businessmen do too much "jhol."

A scientist also would be fun, but my father said that they do not make much money. And they should not be odd or ungroomed you know.
