You can never go wrong with hookah on a cool night with coffee ice cream and butterflies in your stomach. After a chance meeting at an internet cafe we finally have some new friends for a day or two. I am definitely going to miss how unpredictable life can be here--always seeing the strangest things and learning about entire new universes. I just saw man ride by on a bike trailing a wagon piled sky high with rolling office chairs.

Today is Divali, the Indian equivalent of Christmas. The entire city is decorated with lights and every home has garlands of marigolds over their doors. I'm about to go dress up and go for puja at Mr. Bhatia's business, and then probably eat far too many sweets for my delicate metabolism. People lead such personal lives; have a few friends outside of their familes that they hold dear!

Crap I have to go againnnnnnnnnnnnn
