Had an opportunity to attend Isabelle's Ph.D defense!!! : In Belgium

First, I would like to thank Isabelle (Oh! Dr.Isabelle) for her invitation. Fortunately I was in Dortmund otherwise I wouldn't go. I was lucky!

This girl was amazing! She had lot of work planned on a day before her defense. Which I cant digest even now. She said that she could pick me up near Germany border. (No offense Isabelle! "You were Crazy!) . but I appreciate her kindness. She does !

She did pick me up in her city. It was very nice to see her after a year.

Isabelle gave me an interesting instruction.. "She informed me Porkodi whoever you see just kiss.. Ha ha ha..

I always love that kind of greetings!! unfortunately just one kiss in there! but still...

Then we went to have lunch in her laboratory! It doesn't look like pasta! but it was . It tasted good.

In her office I found this lab coat. It was worth capturing!

Then, interesting part came! one of her important jobs was purchasing drinks for the party after defense!!

Oh my god! I got pretty much shocked with the list of drinks. She tried to convince me with that! But she did convince me saying about her big family. Then I was in!

She was accounting everyone for all the drinks! That was quite impossible for a person to drink that much at one night! But we bought! Of course it was good job for me.

Two levels of trolley was filled with many layers of drinks. you can obviously can see that!

Ha ha ha.. I am already smiling. after we got home, I wanted so much "coffee" to refresh myself. So she made coffee for us.. then I started drinking first. No offense again Isabelle. I have to say this here. The coffee tasted so salty. I never ever experienced this before!! But, I didn't say anything to her.. I just drunk! for me it was okay.. I needed some coffee! that is it! Then later, she started drinking. She said Porkodi it is so salty! How did you drink? I said I badly needed it! then she did prepare nice coffee again!

"One of the unforgettable memories"

after she had other important work in her list. She had to prepare dessert for 50 people. oh come on Isabelle! Again I cant believe this girl!

But she did!

then started the "BIG DAY" ...

Isabelle with her thesis...
She already completed her presentation. She did really good!

(One other interesting thing was Manel was one of the Juries! I happened to see him again there! It was short time but nice!)

Then we were waiting for the result of the Juries!

I really liked her very much in this photo! cooooool!

Here it goes!! She is already a Dr.Isabelle!

then comes the small party ! ...

It was good to see her parents too..

Then started a "HUGE" party at night!!! She rented a hall for a night.

I had a chance to meet Yahhel again!! He has grown up! and we spent good time together playing with his lot of interesting cars..
Then again I had chance to spend some time with Manel.
It was nice in the party hall with interesting colorful lights .. Prof. Laszlo (Isablle's Boss) shined a lot with colorful lights... He looks cute!! For me he looks like Einstein!! What do you think?
you understand well here about the lights what i was talking. and everyone of us danced! that was nice!

It was pretty much loud the music.. really LOUD!!! and with time the volume raised!! at one point the whole building was vibrating! No exaggeration! you have to believe this!!

The good thing was I almost didn't drink any alcohol!! I was pretty much impressed by my behavior!

again more music.. more dance!!
after 2 am her friends started leaving. meanwhile high light of the day happened..

It snowed!!! I was actually waiting for the snow in Dortmund.. I even extended my stay one more month! (secret between us) .. But this year there was no snow.. But I was lucky it snowed a lot (as an indian it is lot) at Namur.. So I slipped out and enjoyed watching snow. that was excellent feeling!!

and coming to the party, almost all people left.. then her two friends danced Salsa .. oh wow!!! It was extremely impressive!! this girl was so cute!!

then finished the party around 3 am.. then we left home got some sleep..

next day morning ..view from her home!! snow started melting..

then Isabelle again dropped me to the nearest rail station.. I started my journey back to Dortmund..

On my way back i happened to see more snow!! it was really nice..

Enjoyed watching enough snow and had great and fun time with Isabelle ..

Once again congratulation Dr.Isabelle Minet!
