Strange Religious Practices
The monsoon is over. For a week we haven’t had anything but sunshine and blue skies. Then, just like a tube of toothpaste that never ends – you always manage to squeeze a little bit more out – we have one of those last inexplicable and senseless showers. The Return of Monsoon, Monsoon Strikes Again, Monsoon 2.
Friday we have our first vacation after two intense months. My first quarter report card is good. Not even one failing grade, for the first time in my life!
Rehearsals for “The Taming of the Shrew” are going well. The show is gradually becoming an Indianized version, Bollywood style. The other day we practiced the first choreography, and I have to dance… how can I explain? If you’ve seen Moulin Rouge, the part near the end, “chamma chamma”.
Have you ever thought about what certain words or names mean in other languages? I had a big laugh to myself when I found out that “sala” means bastard [in Hindi] (there’s even a song that goes “Hey Sala!”) while “tona” is a type of black magic used by certain religious sects.

These are experiences…
The other day India beat Australia in the cricket semifinal. This evening, the India-Pakistan final.
