MMC Lab + Movie Night

We started our day trips from the hostel today. We left on a bus in the morning and went to the Milk Colony to tour more of their facilities. We saw the Madras satellite clinic and saw a few cases they had in today. Then we went to their fertilization lab. We saw how they extracted oocytes from ovaries for research. I got to extract some myself! Then we got to see how they artificially inseminated eggs. Each of us got to try it out. It was really cool and almost like a video game with the joy sticks and knobs. We went to a small farm to fill some time. Then we had a great lunch at the Milk Colony and got to enjoy an ice cream from the cows here. We then went to a couple of other labs - virology and toxicology. Finally we were able to head back. It's monsoon season here and just about every afternoon it pours, making driving even more interesting. Though as crazy as the driving is here you don't see many wrecked or even dented cars at all. I guess it's because add max speed we maybe go 50kmh.
We finally scheduled a movie outing tonight! We saw Baahubali, which was actually a pretty good movie. It was in Tamil but had English subtitles. If you watch the preview, it looks like an Indian 300. But then you have dancing and singing throughout. It was interesting. It was also very long. The runtime was 2 hours 40 minutes and we had an intermission in the middle. So that made for a long day and a late night.
