Trains are catching fire (but, thankfully, people are more or less safe(?)), the Great Indian Democracy performs yet another circus show with the anti-corruption act while the government bans child labor in circuses. The politicians are trying to make as much graft as they can before the laws change. There is enough mud from the slinging to make yet another great Gangetic plain. The economy - well, it goes up and down like a bloody yo-yo.
And, I sit here, halfway across the world in a place where I cannot understand most of what is being said (to me or otherwise), where I cannot speak without miming and have to eat mostly leaves and vegetables to avoid the extensive beef that is all around. And worrying about where life is headed and whether coming here was a big mistake.
Ugh...my head functions is terribly small world.

Yes I am. But haven't you been taught "Gaay hamari matha hai"?
Leave the 'Maata'. Get the pita, chacha and the rest :P
Ek baar khaogey toh khaatey reh jaaogey :)
The anti-corruption exercise is absurdly funny man. Driven by a middle class that refuses to engage in electoral politics, are quite corrupt themselves, and they expect the bureaucracy to resemble that of Sweden the moment a Lokpal comes along a la Lee Kuan Yew.
Silly folks.
