MUMBAI

Danced with cockroaches and rats the size of my head down Colaba Causeway after last round at Leo P’s. Bought another book, ‘Maximum City – Bombay lost and found’. It’s sooo good. It’s somewhat of a dodgy home copied kind of version I have, with lines hardly readable and the occasional missing page. Didn’t even want it in the first place, But dude chased me down the streets and just wouldn’t back off ‘till I finally caved in and paid 300 rupees!! I know, the hustle’s on me…but I’m glad he did. The pages smell like Indian streets in the summer. Crowded, crumbling, and dirty. Sweat and spices. Piss, trash, love, death and betel stained smiles.

Saw a movie in Eros theatre. Complete with drug action, plenty of violence and heartbreaking love stories, Bad ass cops and heroes suddenly bursting into singing and dancing while still retaining their cool!! Awesome!! Walked up Marine Drive to Chowpatty Beach after. Sat in the sands and garbage drinking chai and watched the kids playing in the toxic waters…

Now blogging…next up is bye bye Mumbai on a night train to Goa…peace out!!
