Today I went it to work late and got myself some of Sitaram Dewan's chand chole bhature beforehand. Its a chickpea curry that comes with bhature - a flat bread stuffed with herbs and garlic (I think). I got my hair cut too. Its the shortest its been for ten years.
The old boy I met yesterday was in the gallery again. His name is Keith. He told me that he Rollerblades and that he goes to Manchester skate park and can do the hip into the half-pipe and some stalls. He's at least sixty-five. What a guy.
I had a McDonald's today, on purpose. Its been a while since I had any Western food and I felt like my system needed to have a bit of a relax. I should have had pizza. Man, more food talk!
Alka hooked me up for a walk this Sunday despite it being fully booked. It is nice being so well connected.
I feel a lot better today, no deja vu. Probably due to the long talk with mum yesterday. It is nice talking in English with no limits on understanding. And I was probably a little homesick too.
The photo is with the guy that works the 7 til 7 am shift at the hotel's rooftop restaurant every night. His English is very good so he was helping to translate between me and these other two Hindi guys who were up there. His parents live in Uttar Pradesh and are farmers but he works here because there's more money to be made.
