live from mumbai!

ni hao! hey kids...this is g-train popping my posting cherry. we are tired. extremely tired. our eyelids are caked with sleep, yet we persevere for your enjoyment. india is rad to the googleplex power. mumbai dances with color, cows and palm trees. it reminds me of puerto rico, except everyone here is indian. i wish i could detail everything we accomplished today, but given the time constraints, as my pillow is calling my name...bullets will have to suffice.

• we participated in a laughing yoga session in a park. it was dreamy. we laughed and stretched.
• our hostess convinced the security guards of a nearby residential high rise to allow us access to their roof for photographic purposes. oh yeah and like bollywood actors and actresses will live there eventually, and we were there first. booyah!
• we visited a small temple near a body of water. although my description is general, it's possibly one of the most beautiful things i've seen in asia. and i've been living here a year. you do the math!
• our hostess and her sidekick got us into a soap opera studio shoot in which we posed with the male protagonist...sweet.
• we went to several other temples, one being a Hare Krishna one. we were barefoot. i felt a lot of dirt and grime between my toes, thought about alfalfa and darla and smiled at a sign that detailed the origin of the Hare Krishnas while mentioning TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK. what a wonderful world.
• had my palm read by a friendly astrologist. im independent, will have a smooth life and two kids. ellen is also independent and strong-willed. go figure.
• we watched the inauguration on tv and i was a little too hard on obama's speech. i think i'm being a bit of a party pooper because i missed out on a lot of political action this past year. well, a lot of AMERICAN action. i've been dippin' in international waters.

okay...this is g-train signing off for now. xoxoxoxoxoxo.
