Finally a rich breakfast…anyway we preferred our traditional biscuits and bread, so thank you Xime, but potatoes and omelette at 7 o’clock is an hard experience for Italians!!!
So with one closed eye and another very tired we dragged on the same old and dirty bus, and also this morning without any care we stretched out trying to sleep some more!
Nobody still realized that this was officially our last summer school day, and for some of us also the last day in India!!!
After our usually ten minutes waiting for the latecomers and with our coughs and sneeze as melody we started going…direction IIMB!
Our light sleeps were continuously and suddenly interrupted by the Indian speed breakers, that here are extraordinary works of arts, because everyone is different from others in length and tallness!!!
IIMB is the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, the most important business school here, where only “genius” pass the hard admission test (about 1 student for 100 requires).
The building is immersed in the green of trees and gardens. It’s a beautiful and particular structure that remembers the Scottish architectures but also makes feel like walking in a temple.
The first lesson was about the religion and the society in India and was given by a young professor that seemed sing while he speaks, more than we Italians are able to!
After the lecture we came back at Xime.
The last lunch all together was ready and luckily, after complaining, it was a little bit different from the food we have eaten for the last 2 weeks.
At 3 pm there was the final ending!
Everyone dressed elegant and professors gave us the participation certificates and it was an exiting moment for all of us.
After some pictures we had a free afternoon and everyone spent it in his own way….there was someone who played basket, those who went to the shops to get some groceries and so on…
At 7 pm we had a special dinner in the Xime garden instead of eating at our usual dining room.
Everything was beautiful, there were lights on trees, a big table set for the dinner with food and beverages.
Some Xime students came to have dinner with us, and as all the other times that we had the chance to interact with them it was really interesting. In fact I believe that the interaction with the Indian guys was one of the most fascinating moments of our summer school. Even though we couldn’t spend so much time together every time it was amazing because we could discover so many different things as their expectations about their future, lifestyle, religions and thoughts!
I believe it would have been great to spend more time with them but we know it was difficult because of our busy schedule and their lessons and exams. Anyway every time we felt good about this because we could make something that no travel guides or documentary could ever do.
After the last dinner it was time to get the party start.
Every evening it was a bit difficult to organize because of the Xime distance from Bangalore downtown, because of this law of Karnataka state which imposes to close bars and pubs at 11.30 – 12.00 pm.
So this time we decided to stay at the Xime university. It war really nice to see the people who didn’t even know each others became so close in 2 weeks. We had this feeling at the very beginning of the evening; in fact there was an incomprehension, but after we talked about it we made up and the party continued as nothing ever happened.
We bought some beverages and food and despite the tiredness we sang, danced and stayed all together.
At 11 pm unfortunately it was time to greet Martina Antonella and Sofia; after that we continued the party even though little by little some people went to sleep and the party was over only in the morning.
