the black hole

despite constant assurances that my first experience of indian low cost airlines would see me face down and ablaze in a ditch, and that a good ten hours late to the crash site, the doubters proved completely unfounded, and my experience on air deccan was pretty satisfactory. true, the air hostesses (hostessi?) could have been a bit tidier but still. i did however get a touch misty eyed listening to bit of s&g on the way (although my cries of 'it's a good horn solo' and 'they go beserk at that point' fell on deaf ears: nuff love j and medicales for many a good night's antisocialism this past year).
am currently in cal for the most hectic week of my entire time abroad (i hope) as i rush from relative to relative. getting fed lots, but frankly i'd trade it all in for a few hours proper sleep. off to myanmar on monday, where there is likely to be a bit of a internet blackout, but will try to check in before then.

not a piano key necktie...

... but rather a big, ferrell/fozzy style, NOTHING is what i've achieved today. this was partially a conscious decision to get some rest before what promises to be a pretty hectic week tailing my dad around cal, but also because delhi is unbearably, shirt dampeningly, aggresively hot today. off for dinnner and arsenal v chelsea, and, as it's an 8 o'clock kick off here, maybe a few godfathers (a fantastic new indian beer... the label says its strength ranges from 5.25-8.25%. strong, or stupid! either way, brilliant).
