Mumbai, I hear you cry
Published by Sylvia Giacinta November 30th, 2008 in Current Affairs. 4 CommentsI think no other expression can express my feeling better than “What the hell?????”. My heart aches for you, Mumbai.

I know, I missed 3 NaBloPoMo. I failed, but at least I tried. It’s halfway through November and this month has been a steep roller coaster for me. On a lighter note, I just finished my last presentation of the term. Now I’m only left with 2 project parts to write, and that should not [...]
