I can feel myself getting fatter by the second. I don't know how people lose weight when they are traveling. I get that some people get sick in India because of the new foods and spices that they aren't used to, but apparently I'm made fo steel because none of that is happening. Instead, I'm eating tons of bread, rice, pasta, and surprisingly, pizza. I've eaten more pizza here then I have in the past six months. Who knew that would be a go-to item.
Maybe I'll feel less fat when I'm back at the gym five days a week. For now, I'm going to enjoy my new, Buddha-esque body.
Ericka arrived last night and we had a late dinner at the Chinese restaurant in our hotel—Red Zen. Ericka loves this place, but I hadn't had a chance to check it out yet. Having just arrived, she was wide awake, so I knew it would be a rough night for her. Especially since Monday is one of our early days. So, we were supposed to meet in the dining room for breakfast this morning at 7:00 a.m. I found a table, ordered breakfast, and waited. And waited. And waited. I started to get a bit worried that she hadn't set her alarm or didn't change her time zone or something horrible happened. Thankfully, she made it around 7:15—before I started panicking.
Vanesh was back today! And Ravi! And my waiter! Good day.
Work was less than thrilling. I was supposed to go to Kingdom of Dreams tonight with Sups, but we discovered that it was closed on Mondays. Giant sad face.
Thankfully, not all hope is lost. Sups and I decided to shift our schedules tomorrow (8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. vs. 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.) so that we can see one of the shows. Initially they wanted me to go to Zangoora, since it's more traditional:
Zangoora is a fantasy tale set in the fictional Kingdom of Shaktishila. It's a classic story of good vs evil as a gypsy boy Zangoora makes his journey to his true destiny of being a prince. A love triangle emerges between Zangoora, princess Sonali and a feisty gypsy girl Laachi.
Strung together with all time favorite Bollywood song the story explores a larger than life world- full of magic, music, dance, colour and all things Bollywood. Romance, drama, action, magic and scintillating performances and foot tapping music that promises to enthrall audiences like never before.
Unfortunately, Zangoora only had a performance at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. So, instead we're seeing Jhumroo which looks really awesome:
A family entertainer in the true sense, Jhumroo will take the audience through the story of a lovable young boy Bhola, who leads a simple life in Mumbai, living with his father, working at an ad agency and fooling around with his friends. Bhola has only two dreams – one to be a singing superstar, an idea highly disapproved by his father considering his not so great singing talent and two, to express his love to Meena, a co-worker at the ad agency. Circumstances and events follow and the boy find himself in the finals of a singing reality show. How the music and spirit of Kishore da whom Bhola considers his idol makes this possible is an enchanting tale in true sense of the word.
Honestly, I don't really care which one I see. I am just really excited for the experience! Sups and I are leaving work at 5:00 p.m. so we can go there early to shop and eat. Then Adi and Aasthaa are joining us for the show. Can't wait!
Speaking of shopping, I should probably stop. But let's be honest, I probably won't. Just like I probably won't stop eating.
Le sigh.

Just eat a pre-packaged chicken sandwich that has been sitting in a display case for hours or days at Costa Coffee! I lost at least ten pounds that way. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I remember. I never ate anything but hot food at Costa after that incident with you!
