Lost in the sky!

Ok, here we are, guys!

This morning we left XIME at 7:30. The bus was more like a dormitory, you know, with all the people sleeping in their seats just like babies...weariness is growing stronger and stronger but... hey! These are the last three days!
In spite of that, we were able to reach the ISRO ( Indian Space Research Organization) at least 20 minutes before the estimated time! There we had the extraordinary opportunity to see with our own eyes a real satellite that will leave for the space in october. It was completed just a couple of days ago, so we were lucky to have a chance like that! Unluckily they didn't let us take a pictures of it for secutiry reasons, but..hey! that's life!
After that, we left for the HAL (Hindustan Aeronautical Limited) where we spend some time visiting the local museum, and the exposition of old planes' models, situated in a lovely garden.

Thereafter we came back to XIME for lunch, had a little rest, and we prepared for Professor Iyengar's lesson. That was an interesting lesson, indeed! We talked a lot about the ethical ways of conducting business and the unethical ones...and we found out that in this particular field, differences between India and Italy are less than anyone can imagine!
...but after a so compelling lesson, we just deserve some rest, dont' you think so?


And that's when happened!!! It started to rain like a monsoon!!!


And just istantly all the things messed up!!! The meeting arranged with the the indian students became a major issue because of the rain, and it required quite an effort to set up everything for compiling the questionnaires, but somehow we managed to gather each other and complete them thoroughly, even in spite of the adversities!
In the meanwhile rehearsals for the cultural show resumed, and they're going on even now! While we're writing this blog's page, our wonderful dancers are working hard to prepare a great show for us all! we wish them good luck!

and for the moment, that's all folks! Stay tuned, 'cause time's running out!!!
