Noteworthy mentions and firsts

+ Watched my first Hindi movie, all 3 hours and 27 minutes of it: all the flashy seventies disco dance sequences, all the staged, refined romantic sequences where the characters' hands delicately brush against each other (careful to avoid any real unwholesome behavior), all the stunningly handsome famous Indian Bollywood stars (which included our new famous actor friend back in his heyday), while served a delicious Indian homemade meal.

+ Was interviewed/photographed/audio-recorded with fellow compatriots for an upcoming story in the San Jose Mercury News on expats and non-resident Indians (NRIs) choosing to live in Bangalore. Toured photographer around the Company's bus system, my apartment- even my bedroom with the Texas Flag and raw silk hand painting of Shiva mounted on the wall. Then gave audio interview- If quoted, hopefully some of us can begin to build our notoriety in Google's search engine, amassing our fair share of "insert name here" search results.

Weekend!
