Friday, September 3
I was supposed to meet Andrew, his family, and some of the other students to go to Chandhi Chowk (in Old Delhi) to go shopping but I wasn't feeling well so I went to the doctors. I got medicine and rested. I also did a lot of my homework and caught up on my reading.
Saturday, September 4
Since I was feeling better Karissa and I went to Haus Kauz Market to look for Kurtas. Melody (another student) bought really nice and cheap Kurtas at a store in Haus Kauz. Well, there is a Haus Kauz Market and a Haus Kauz Village which has shops as well as ruins left by rulers before the Mughals came to India. We thought they were in the Market so after looking around and asking people we asked Melody and she told us the shop was in the Village. We were able to walk to the Village from the Market. However, after walking around we didn't find it and since I was still sick I was getting tired so we headed back. The rest of the say I did more reading and relaxed.

Everly, Karissa, and I went to Sirogni Nagar (Nagar means city or town) to pick up our saris since we had to get the blouses tailored. We went early to look around and we were going to meet Andrew and his family since they have been going to the sari shop for over 30 years and knew the people there. I bought another sari. It's silk, black and has a dark red lining. I got it for my mom's memorial service. Some other students came and they bought some saris since they were not with us last week when we picked ours. After trying on the blouses they need to be let loose a little and hopefully we get them before we go to the Taj this weekend, because on Saturday we want to get our pictures taken wearing our saris in front of the Taj. The rest of the day, I relaxed and studied my Hindi.
