I took a walk today






Ganesh and Me. he was kind enough to take me to the
Hard Rock Cafe
on my last night in India.
it was so much fun, great food and great people
...what could possibly go wrong? :)



The most amazing wrap i have ever had in my entire life.
promise.
if you ever go to south mumbai and you
want an amazing place to eat (veg and non-veg)
then come to this place...

you wont regret it.




Mumbai police.
the police took it up a notch because of the mumbai attacks in 2008.




This is the view from where i stayed in mumbai...
on the 12th floor


Rama, Lakshmi, Lova, Karuna, Suda, Durga

Sometimes I throw bananas....



and sometimes I throw bananas at priests who are
attached to long poles...
yes, this is what I did today.

Durga Puja has been going on this past week and
one of the festivals that are included is
giving offerings (throwing bananas)
to a priest (who was representing a goddess)
on a very long pole.

Thousands of Indians were there to take part
in this festival which happened over the course of about 2 hours.

At some points in the procession
the crowd was getting pretty intense
and the police actually starting beating men
with sticks.

This was definitely not something I expected to do in my lifetime
but I had tons of fun doing it!

I rain dance....even in India


Our driver tried to charge us 50 more rupees as the rain started to pour even though we were almost to our house. Sooooo we just got out and ran home in the rain. He tried to call us back, along with the several other shopkeepers yelling "mam!" at us to get out of the rain, but we said
no thank you sirs!
