DWDB : 12
Someone had the brilliant idea of going to the movies the other night. We knew we wouldn't understand a word (it was in Hindi but dubbed in Tamil), but it was certainly worth the experience. I don't even know what the movie was called, but it featured all the corny 'look-but-don't-touch' romance, insane dance scenes and action that Bollywood is apparently famous for. We can't quite figure out why, but whenever there is a movie playing (be it in a bus, in a shop or in a cinema) they seem to have the volume set to about 200% all the time. We had to sit through most of the movie with our fingers in our ears it was so loud! Unfortunately the star of the movie was not Veejay who we saw in another movie on the bus to Dindigul last weekend.
Thursday 8th Nov was the Hindu festival of Diwali. Everyone buys bags and bags of firecrackers and fireworks and the place sounded like a war was going on from sparrow-fart on wednesday until about midnight last night. The odd cracker has been going off today too. Pyros that we are, we purchased a healthy collection of fireworks in Trichy last weekend and we had ourselves a little pyrotechnic bonanza on the hospital's soccer field last night. With the help of James as cameraman, we managed to take this pretty sweet photo using 5 giant sparklers..

We started new rotations today - Kev and I are in surgery, Georgie and Suze are in O&G and Jenna's in ICU with James. We all had a pretty big first day in our respective depts. I am so glad that tonight I'll be able to get some sleep without firecrackers going off constantly.

well i must say im very jealous! not only of your amazing indian adventure, but also of that mo. i am also sporting a mo but mine is far bushier and less 'kempt' than the thing on your face...i still maintain, and always have, that a mo aint worth shit if it cant hold milk. ha.ha. exams have been messing with my head hey. ive had 2 and ive got one on tomorrow and have completely lost track of days. just this morning (sunday) i asked dad how his weekend was...i guess i musta thought it was wednesday or something. anyway bra good to see your having a sweet time over there. we're all stalking you on your blog so keep up the updates. oh also, glad to see youve still managed to avoid DB...if you can go the whole trip without a squirt, i will buy you a steak when you get back...maybe not wagyu, but possibly a more student friendly coles version? ;)
