Farewell India

I had a great time in India! I am very thankful to my various hosts for showing me such a good time.

Besides a weekend trip to the Taj Mahal, as you can see below, I was also treated to a full immersion into Bollywood here in Mumbai, the center of the movie world here in India. It started with a 3-hour viewing of Om Shanti Om, complete with a pre-show standing for the Indian national anthem. Afterwards, we ate dinner at Olive’s, which is a trendy place where many of the Bollywood stars go to see and be seen by the Page 3 newspapers. My host was leaning over to me telling me who was the sister-in-law of whom and which directors were entering while escorting which starlets.

    Thats Bombay my friend. Mumbai is the name the minority goverment of the 90s gave the city. Folks who have lived in the city prior to the State wars and rise of regional chauvinism call the city Bombay.

    The dichotomy of the Taj…this is a more Indianized version than the typical pristine white renditions.
    Way better than Shah Rukh Khan or OSO :)
