Adam Brookes is the most inadvertantly racist BBC correspondent ever.
Listening to this idiot blathering on and on about the pre-inaugural activities on BBC World took a turn for the worse when he stumbled across the meaning of CPT. Loosely quoted: "Perhaps Mr. Obama tends to run 10 to 15 minutes behind schedule because he is a... democrat." Nice save, jackass.
Next up: Will Obama's children cultivate a black-only network of friends?
What the hell kind of reporting is this?
Way to fumble, BBC.

In the taxi from Churchgate to Kolaba
The High Noon Train to Churchgate (Woo Woo!)
Took the train into Mumbai again.. this time I managed to avoid being harassed and/or entering the ladies' compartment.
I took this picture because I wanted to look cool. I later found out that hanging out the train is extremely dangerous because you can either fall out and be run over by a passing train and die a horrible painful death... or worse, have your eye poked out by a rock thrown by street kids. I guess it's a game they play- 'maim the commuter' or some such nonsense.
I miss the NYC subways, where the most dangerous thing that happens is eye contact, or the occasional blind grope.
Leila Auntie
This is my Leila Auntie. She owns and operates a designer shalwar shop in Bandra.
This is her dog Dizzy- who (A) wouldn't stay still for a photo and (B) threw up on the floor right after this picture was taken.
It's nice to know that my Dr. Doolittle powers extend beyone US Borders isn't it Pauline/Laura?? HMM???

I wish I was Blind, so I didn't have to see BLINDNESS.
My cousin Oriana is never allowed to pick the movie EVER AGAIN.
If I have to watch Julianne Moore's overwrought crying in another movie, I'll poke my own eyes out.
This movie shat the bed. Save your money and go rent Wall E or read a book.
ugh.

Street Pix: Vol. 1
Ghajini
This shit was redic... it's already pulled in 200 crore (2 billion rupees or just under $41 million USD) at the box office.
Fire up your Netflix and rent this Memento/Amelie inspired (read ripoff) Bollywood hit.
Do it YAAR!
PS If you haven't yet.. go see Slumdog Millionaire. I think it just won best picture at the Golden Globes.

The train boss, the TRAIN!
So yesterday I took the train from Bandra Station to Churchgate to visit my family that lives in Kolaba. What resulted was a comedy of errors- in two acts.
Act 1: That's right, I'm that hot. I totally got felt up/accosted by some strange dude who seemed way too interested in my transaction at the train station ticket window. I figured it's crowded in Mumbai so I guess people are used to not having personal space. While this may be true, there is still no reason for you to touch my butt.
Act 2: Oh, the Shame.
One one-way first class ticket on Western Railways: 52 rupees.
One bottle of Limca: 15 rupees.
Accidentally boarding the 'ladies only' train car and getting yelled at by an old lady: priceless.

You're going to feel that tomorrow.
So I went ahead and joined a gym. I suppose this is the direct result of three consecutive "Wow you've put on weight!" comments.
I joined Gold's Gym in Bandra. My Trainer's name is Hamesh and he completely kicked my ass today. No Bipasha Basu (look it up, gents) sightings yet, but I may have some competition, ugh, (you're welcome, ladies).
Rumor has it, once you get a six-pack, you get your first movie. When you get an eight-pack, you get Bipasha.

So it's being announced today that India is almost out of gas.
I, on the other hand, am operating at full capacity (AF whut?)
Hey America!: Pay attention... this is going to suck.

Smells Like Teen Curry
I just got to my dad's in Mumbai.
It's 4:30 am.
Delayed flight + screaming devil children + seatmate with a weak bladder = Cranky Muni

BLARGABLARGABLARG!!
Boo.
I just got booted from the Oasis Lounge, which I talked my way into.
Now all I have is my vitamin water, Sarah-Jayne's pithy facebook messages, and my utter annoyance to keep me warm.
It's amazing to me that with 4 billion years of evolutionary progress (or 6,000 years of divine creation, if you swing that way) in my back pocket, it still takes 1 hour and 39 minutes of standing aimlessly in a queue to check into a flight that is delayed by four hours and a $15 food voucher is supposed to make me happy .
I wish I had a point, but instead I have a middle seat.
Sigh.
