Today I...



Was told by a tailor and 2 sales ladies that I should opt for 3/4 length sleeves for my kurta in order to hide my too-thin arms.

Had 4 sweet African girls ask to touch my hair and ask if blonde is ever a natural color of hair or if it is always dyed that way.

Averted a drunk, potential-stalker from the bus station, who shook my hand too long and too many times and then followed me to my bus stop where I zipped away in an autorickshaw.  

Went to the biggest, fanciest book store around to find that they had zero books written by Mahatma Gandhi.  

Cooked Chinese (inspired) stir-fry for roommates and friends (from USA, Kenya & Uganda) while my roommate cooked a chicken she had selected live this afternoon and left with after only 5 minutes of "processing," right in front of her.  Yikes.

Shrieked and cowered (and took a video) as my roommate Marsha and her friend Sadie boldly killed a giant, poisonous spider in my bathroom.  Freda has now deemed Marsha “the man of the house.”  



Good night.
