Subject: macaroni?

Honey,

I will try to cook sausage today. But to cook for my friends also, I need more experience!

Tomorrow night we will be starting for Italy. I have not bought a ticket yet. Today we will go and buy the ticket and reserve trains for our journey. I will come back on Monday, but Monday is a holiday here, so I will come to the office on Tuesday.

Yes, I remember that I had told that I will cook for you. I cooked also. But you said it was too simple and you didn't want to eat that. What to do? I know to cook that only. Moreover, after a long day in the office, I don't feel like spending more time cooking. Next time I will try to cook something "complicated" for you, not any simple things.

Don't put on too much weight! If you have some extra weight, send it to me. I need more, right?

Today, the colleague in Bangalore had come there. We had discussed a lot. There are more problems than meeting the eye. But this is a welcome sign. This means we are on the right path. Today my colleague here (the red Indian dressed German in the photo) has invited me to go their music practice session. I told him I will come next week.

One of my colleagues is leaving on Saturday to India. I have to go with him to buy some gifts.

And what is a macaroni???

Yesterday I got your parcel with hundreds of teabags and 2 cookers. Some teabags, my friends have taken away. They told me not to leave the cooker here. If they don't have many things to carry back to India, they will take one with them.

The adapter was also there, but it seems I have to buy a new adapter. Because the plug socket here in Germany usually is inside a circular hole. We can't put the adapter directly in there. It will not touch. Do you know what I mean? The three pinholes of the lug socket are not at the same level as the wall. The plug point is like a small vessel, with the three holes in the bottom! I will buy a new adapter soon.

I will be here till 5 o'clock. If you come before that, reply...

Love

Kamal
