The awful barking Hindi of a dandy fop

I'm off to the delta today, where I shall try to follow the two pieces of advice that have been given me-- don't fall into the mud, and don't get eaten by tigers. So expect a brief break in the missives for a few days... even though I'm slowly becoming convinced that the only people still reading this are Sessily and my parents (hi, parents!).

I promise there will be a day when I don't write about Bollywood all the damn time, but today is not that day. I watched Mangal Pandey for the 45th time last night, and I have to recommend it to anyone who is mildly interested in quasi-factual Indian revolutionary history, nationalism, and awesome mustaches. Also featured are the more effective uses of song in bollywood, Rani Mukherjee's hotness, and the best British actors 100 bucks can buy.

Anyway, I need to go check off things from my to-do list before I leave (on which I felt the need to write "shower"... wtf). Mudflats ho!

Yep, I'm reading! Though I'm behind... I blame going on vacation. I'm in Moab with Seema today, to Salt Lake tomorrow, and then later this week to San Fantastic to see Vane. If only I could have added another tiny little leg to my trip and hopped on over to India...

my mom has been reading this and said, "Mangal Pandey must be Becky's favorite movie" You WERE exaggerating when you said you've seen the movie 45 times, right? :)

Hope you feel better soon... look how tough you are... you didn't get sick in the first week!

I miss you!!
