OMG! I got up at 6:30 not realizing that it was evening and that I had just slept for over 15 hours, and happily called up my sis at her 5AM! I had so much to do today.


I've had the nicest few days. I went here, here, herehere, here, and here. I slept in my room. I slept next to Baby T. I felt safe enough to get super drunk. I was driven around Delhi because I misplaced my Delhi driving skills. I went to my maternal grandparents' house. I had real sweet corn chicken soup in Aka Saka. I had LITs in Blues. I had momos! I had plain dosas. I had ghar ka daal and roti. I had classic mild. I had port wine. I had a real christmas for the first time. I made new friends. I hugged old ones.

Then came NYC where I was to spend one whole day with my friend and her boyfriend. And what a day it was! I had a Japanese duck for lunch, yummy Mochi for desert (as George rightly stated, it was FUCKING AWESOME!), bought really cheap DVDs (including a collection of eight Almodovar films!!!!) from Kim's (I am so proud of myself for having discovered this store myself during my short trip alone to NYC earlier this year). I love this whole street - it's very young, and Janpath like because of the NYU buildings around. I wish I had time to shop here. Anyway, then came the best part of the day. We rushed towards BAM and managed to get tickets for Slumdog Millionaire. Please please please watch this film. The music, acting, plot, cinematography, everything is really good. It reminded me of City of God. The shots in the beginning of the film with the kids in the slum are so similar to City of God. Danny Boyle, the director, has also made Trainspotting and The Beach, and his style brings India to life. Also, A.R. Rehman has done it yet again. My favorite song is 'Jai Ho'..
