Anyhow, now picture this, drunk Trudy (for all those who know drunk Trudy this will be very easy to picture..lol)and now after picturing drunk Trudy...lets move on to picturing Trudy puking in the loo...what a pretty sight I must say! So after a whole afternoon of entertainment consisting of helping Trudy puke, stand up and go back to sleep, of making her smell some lime, drunk some water, and eat some food, we have got a 25 mintue video of it all (not to embarass Trudy but just to remember how much fun we had...haha ;)
Trudy I must say though, you're a born entertainer, even when drunk you managed to keep the show going!!...Keep it up I say!
In the evening Dominic paid a 120 bucks for Trudy just to sleep in a multiplex and not actually watch "The Pursuit of Happyness" I’ve never been to Mumbai, and hence I’ve never been to McDonald’s….(no,
Let’s take a look at the menu shall we? Yummy, I say! Now my parents own a bakery, so I’m surrounded by food, all the time..I mean ALL the time (no points for figuring out where those few extra kilos come from), cakes, cookies, pastries and patties do get boring after a while, but in no way do they make any difference to how much I love food!
And finally the night ended at 4am, with Charlene, Trudy and I talking about everything we could think of!
The next day Charlene decided that we should go down to InOrbit and check it out. And so we did. We (I) was like a kid in a candystore. Yup I have to admit!...and maybe I'll let you in on this embarrassing piece of information...I didn't know how to turn off the taps in the washroom, until I realized that they turn themselves off..Yup there you have it!...silly but true! and now you can start laughing....ok and now you can STOP!!
Then next door we check out Hyper City, and my brother being his usual Bum-ish self, is running late. So we sit outside Hyper City waiting for 3 hours!...Going in now and again to enjoy the AC, buy water, eat icecream, or just get rid of boredom...all thanks to Cliff!! Oh lets not forget random weirdo, desperate to have a converstion with us!!
Yup and then finally Cliff arrives and it's his idea to go to Fun Repiblic, which wasn't so much fun after all coz nothing seemed to be happening there. So we just plonked ourselves on the steps and waited for it to get dark..lol...and then took a one hour train ride to Charlene's place in Nerul! She's admitted that Nerul is pretty boring but has promised to show me a good time!
Nerul according to Charlene was a village, but actually it's not. It's perfect for a family with 3 little kids, coz there's more gardens't here than there are roads. Anyhow we walk the empty roads at 2:00am, which is good, coz in Nagpur we can't do that, lest someone we know sees us and reports it to mommy and daddy!! Thankfully noone knows us here and we needn't be on our best bahaviour...great huh!
So the night comes to and end finally, Charlene falls asleep while Im filling her in on Nagpuri gossip...and it's probably after 15 minutes of talking I realize that she's actually asleep and not really "listening with her eyes closed"...haha....say it Charlene it was all because of "Fuel and leechee" wasn't it!!
Ok ok imagine this, 3 girls, who have nothing else to do, and then Trudy suddenly feels the urge to play "Antakshari", and so there we are singing, "Rukmini, Rukmini, shaadi ke baad kya hua" on the top of our voices and Trudy was well err singing like she always does, but but we have to admit that she was the strongest player there, coz none of us even knew of the songs she started to sing!...she even got patriotic with "Aye mere vatan ke logon" again I say what would we ever do without you Trudy Trecia D'souza!
Now I’m not much a shopper, once I know what I’m looking for, it takes me just a couple of minutes, half an hour max, to pick, choose, try on and buy what I need. So I was kinda dreading what exactly ‘shopping’ was gonna be. It turns out, that when 2 girls get together, with some money and a lot of time on their hands, shopping can be quite a pain in the ass and you end up shopping for your sister more than yourself, and after 2 hours of walking around, you realize your too tired to shop for yourself and end up going home!…
The gate of India, travelling by local, getting gallis from the women coz of my gigantic backpack in the process, all were pretty good in the end and all worth it. Now I can actually say that I've travelled like a true Mumbaite!! Which is really painful but I guess you get used to it right?
My time with Charlene is now coming to an end, Trudy's goin back to Hyderabad, and Im going to be staying with another friend. But memories remain ;) (remember the 25 minute video??...haha ;)
Ok this is day 4, and Im meeting friends that I met at a camp 2 years ago. Im pretty happy to be meeting them again. Esther and Ruth. Esther is pretty sane, maybe a bit too much for me..lol...but she makes a wonderful ballerina..and Ruth, well she's your normal 12 year old, except maybe she's 10 times more hyper, and is able to bend and twist her body in ways that normal people have never known!! (All thanks to gymnastics) I knock on the door, and Ruth opens it, and then screams "YAYYY"...Yup quite a welcome, bear hugs and all. So this should be fun.
Lots of catching up, and so little time to do it. I had a pretty good time. Saw a nice play, got to watch Ruth at one of her gymnastics classes (very impressive i must say), met some nice people....Was taught how to put on makeup by a 12 year old....(yup I'm clueless in that area)....good food, even better company...what else could I want!
My last night in Mumbai was spent seeing the better side of Mumbai, yup we went clubbing, and Im really not the type who likes trance and dance music, but it was "Retro Night" and so the music was a lil better. Cliff and I even started to jive, till we realized that places like these are only meant for jiggying in one place!..Nevertheless it was one beer and a lot of fun!...I arrive home at 3am..and I have to get up again at 5 coz my trains gonna leave soon. Startved of sleep Cliff and I wait at the station, I can hardly wait for the train to arrive so that I can sleep my way to Goa...and there it is....Ahhh Goa is now just 10 hours away....
