It's been about 10 days since I got to India...I am 100% sure that I am partaking in the Indian version of "The Hills" The social circle I am running in consists of kids who like to create drama because they are bored and have money.
In The Hills...the people always seems bored so they do stupid stuff.
Today we took remote control cars which had real engines and drove them around the city as we followed them in our real car. If you happened to be in Jubilee Hills today, there was a good chance you saw race cars flying down the street as a bunch of guys were laughing and standing through their sunroofs. For the record, we got the cars up to 40 mph.
And of course, The Hills has TONS of drama. While I haven't been directly involved, I have witnessed some of the made-up drama of Hyderabad. Some of the kids here own their own city-wide magazines, including tabloids (think Us Weekly type magazines) They use these magazines to spread rumors about one another and create animosity. When I was 21, people used AIM to spread rumors...now these kids used their own magazines? What a difference 4 years makes.
I joined an Expat club this weekend...kind of funny to be in an expat club when I grew up in this city as a kid but it's just an effort to meet new people.
I went to get a haircut, facial, pedicure and manicure. Before you start making fun of me...most of my friends already know I do this sort of stuff whenever I'm in India/Asia since it's so cheap. The people at the salon gave me some great feedback today...
1. Your hair is thinning, looks like you're balding
2. Your skin is so dark! You need bleach
3. How is it possible that your face is so dry but your nose is this oily?
What a great way to start a Sunday.

Maybe you can be editor in chief of one of the magazines. You've got a literary background. Since you're dark and balding, hurry up and get married!!! So if facials/manicures/pedicures were cheap in the US, you would get them? maybe we should get your family to introduce you to men along with women so you can choose a side.
ReplyDeleteWhatever dude, nothing wrong taking care of yourself...I'm not that insecure. You on the other hand, won't even sit next to another guy at a movie theater, now that's ridiculous.
