Hey Ex-trainees!

While waiting for one of the new trainees to volunteer to be the Blog Administrator, I've added a new section to the right - Featured Posts. This will contain links to past posts that would be useful to current/future trainees. Any of you ex-trainees have any other suggestions for posts that you would find useful as a new trainee?

Welcome New Trainees!!

Anyone have a photo of the huge trainee dinner the other night? If you do, then please post it on the blog. I'd love to see it!

Slight problem...

Martina, the present blog administrator, is leaving tomorrow. And although there are lots of new trainees (4-5 Nigerians just arrived, and Anja from Germany arrived as well), none of them have regular access to the internet at work. So who will be the next administrator? AND who will read the blog in Chandigarh except me, the poor wannabe trainee?

Any of you trainees have any ideas (or I guess you ex-trainees since no trainees seem to read the blog anymore)? Maybe Martina can administer the blog from Germany until a trainee shows up who has access to the internet? She's travelling around India for 2 weeks, but maybe after that??

Trainees In Bollywood

Hello Chandigarh & everyone else!
How are you all? I just thought I’d update you all on my movie stardom & encourage you all to go & see what is obviously gonna be THE best bollywood movie of all time, I know this because 2 of the coolest trainees are in it!
Yes on the 8th of September, mine & Lucie’s big bollywood adventure was unleashed in India!
For those of you that don’t know this is the film me & Lucie ‘starred’ in whilst holidaying in Mumbai!!!
Go see it (if you can handle that much Emraan Hashmi!) & let me know what it’s like! Don’t think it’s coming to Cairo just yet but I’m sure I can track down a copy once I get back to Bonnie Scotland!

PS for any those of you who can’t get enough of the film – there’s more about it here!

PIGS Brunch Chez Moi: Take 2!

More of you better show up this time - no excuses!!

Sunday, September 10
11am
My house - just ask Martina or send me an SMS if you don't know where.

Bring some food to share. I'll provide juices, plates and cutlery.

Unfortunately I don't have a big nice patio, so this will be mostly indoors with a balcony some people can sit out on as well.

Please forward this on to any other foreigners who might be interested in coming.

And if anyone's interested in a soccer match at 9am before the brunch, let me know.

(PIGS - Punjab International Gourmet Society: An informal brunch held once a month at somebody's house where all the foreigners in Chandigarh can get together and socialise.)

Hello?

How many trainees are in Chandigarh these days?

Probably not as many as there were applicants for the Chandigarh LC. A whopping 564, if my numbers are correct. I think 65 were selected in the end. That's crazy if you ask me.

This one looks interesting.

Anyone wanna go?
