Summary:
Lazy day in Chennai. Sat outside Chai shops, almost everything closed on Sundays.
TFTD:
Didn't see any beggars today.
25% of usual activity on streets. Much more pleasant to walk around.
Weather a bit cool. Wondering when next warm shower will be.
Both got upset bellies. Dosing up on the meds.
Worked out the ultimate weight loss program. Will publish upon my return:
1. Travel to India2. Try a variety of delicious foods. 3. Sweat a lot.4. Walk for at least 4 hours a day.5 Wait for the fun to begin.
"5 step program that you can enjoy while eating as much as you like while watching your favorite shows on TV." 12 easy payments of $29.95 + p&h.
Men pushing karts selling various wares wander the streets making their signature noise. Some examples are hitting sticks, banging tin, calling out, most blend into the surrounding noise but the "ice man" who roams the streets till about 1 am has a really loud cowbell which he rings with a vigor. Don't even think about sleeping before he knocks off work.
There has been a dog fight outside our window for the last 3 nights. The dogs on the street are so small and sleepy during the day but at night...at night.
Media saturation on situation with Pakistan. Watching intently before we head North.
Watched "American psycho" on late night tv. Was so edited "For Indian audiences" that the story was almost impossible to follow. All the nudity, swearing & violence was cut.. Short movie.
