avanisday1inbombay

So my holiday-ing started today.
I have arrived in hot humid sweaty Bombay,
Maximum city as they call it. It really is maximum in a lot of ways.
As the plane was touching down and i could see the city, I could not see an inch of unoccupied space. Completely carved out hills and absolutely no empty spaces. And no trees.

On the Bangalore airport, there was a man clad in two small white towels (ONLY)
:? i have no clue what that was about, but it was pretty queer.
And then on the flight there was a famous theater actress, Arundati Nag. She wore a beautiful white cotton sari, with green peacock block print. And she wore a blue and red blouse. I want to look like her when i am old. 

I did fancy Bombay things, ate some lovely salad, and now waiting for a friend to wrap up work. Sitting outside, in his studio's lounge. It is a special effects studio, where they do edits, colour correction, telecine, animation etc for bollywood films and ad agencies. It is the fanciest studio i have seen.. While i write, i am going to sneakily try to take a picture. The people here are rude and arrogant and nonchalant.
I am now sitting in one of edit rooms. They are colour correcting some ad film. Its a crazy process. They have some 4 different computers, some fancy edit machine, the best sound.. its heaven. But these guys have been working in this room for four days straight, its sunday night, everyone is tired, cranky and dying.

I spent the afternoon hours with mom's friend who is a fancy fashion designer. Its an absurd world all these people live in and talk about.

Wow, is this the kind of world some of us will end up living in? I hope not.. or maybe.. to each his own.
I am tried and bored. I dont like leather couches and strange designer people.
More later ladies.
love.


Here, a sneaky picture happened. This is one of the tiny edit rooms where i am sitting right now. The AC makes it all too cold.
