Take a look around my campus ;)

Welcome to Jerry's Hostel
"J Hostel", the place to be.

Although it is empty now, this place can get quiet crowded with hungry students, who enjoy three warm meals a day at given hours. Rice is an important ingredient for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with various vegetarian side-dishes, sauces, chapati, and desert. 

That's it, my favorite place of the campus. It is here, where my stomach gets what it needs.

Washing machine access makes visits to
washing saloons unnecessary  

My second most favorable place of the campus.
Free filtered tap water, which is not that bad.

view from my balcony, the first one ever! perfect to enjoy sunrise and sunset. also it provides space to do yoga!

The plants and flowers are just amazing. Hope you enjoy them as much a I do.

Comic Journey to the very South of India during Onam festival 2011

Do you see the fresh white Snipper on the very back, the third one from the right... look closely you might recognize it later on a plate ;) 

Looks familiar? It was delicious and an enjoyable struggle to finish it, even for two hungry men . 

Although it might seem like it, I am not eating fish bones! They ate me O_o

A sitting in a circle drinking party without me drinking was not that much fun ^^

Doesn't it look like in a fairy tale? By the way all these pictures are from my room mate Gerhard. visit his blog on  www.gergi084.com for further pictures...

That's as far SOUTH as you can get in India, the very  Southern tip of the beautiful mother country of spirituality 

That's Gerhard, who is stuck with me for half a year in the same room ;) 

I wonder who put these stones there? Any clues?  

The father of these beautiful children asked me to take a picture with them.  

That's the man and his ashes in a memorial temple can be visited there, where the three waters meet.

Incredible India indeed

After a quiet rough and unexpected introduction to India, I am finding myself in a Campus of the Indian Institute for Management Kozhikode. My health issues seem to be recovering while I start getting used to the spicy food, the extremely moisture climate, and new living conditions. A first résumé: I still love India :)

Today the first course commenced, a two hours lecture of Marketing of Services. I enjoyed listening to the professor and being in a class with around 50 other Indian students from all over, as well as 5 other international students following the same course. 

According to the promise I made and as a means of improved study I am going to publish my notes, assignments, and experiences of the courses in this blog. So anyone reading and following my blog might learn something useful. ...I figure that hardly anyone might do so for pure entertainment ;) ...

Please feel free to correct my English, post feedback and comment on whatever comes to your mind.
