yesterday was the shopping day! we went to a walmart-esque superstore called big bazaar (it was a lot less trashy and china-y than walmart, though) and i bought 6 tops and 3 bottoms for about 3000 rupees, which is about $60USD, so that was a good deal. afterwards, we went to go see "x-men origins" in its opening weekend here (it opened on june 10th). and i'm not a fan of superhero movies/comic books turned movies, but i really actually enjoyed it. it went at a good pace, all of the young mutants were hotties, and most of all, the cold war-era costumes were gorgeous to look at.
we (neeranjani, a coworker of mine, and i) stayed with one of her aunts. her cooking was fantastic (i think i've already mentioned that?) and a welcome change of pace from the spicy canteen food. unfortunately, i ate too many mangoes and suffered from diarrhea for much of the weekend. when we went to see the movie, i went to the bathroom, washed my hands, walked out, and ran back in: it was THAT bad. i used my IBFAN knowledge and made myself a simply solution of sugar and water for some much needed electrolytes. unfortunately, i forgot my immodium at the hostel, so that was my first action following my return from secundrabad. never again am i traveling without that.
i'm back to the office this weekend. sorry mum, i wasn't ignoring you, i just didn't have internet access this weekend, so i couldn't blog. i meant to tell you that before i left.
anyways, back to work!
