Once I settled into the flat, I had to buy a bunch of small things so I headed to India’s version of Wal-Mart called Big Bazaar. I went on Sunday at 9pm thinking it would be dead. Apparently, I went at the height of shopping rush hour. At one point there seemed to be more people in the store then merchandise. If you have any concerns whether there really is a retail revolution occuring in India, I suggest you checkout Big Bazaar.

I have been in India for about a week now and STILL cannot work a damn landline phone. They seem to change the dialing sequence everytime I land into India. Then once i master it, i step inside a business office and have to deal with the nuances of a PBX…argh. But i figure if that’s my biggest issue then i’m fine. I still have no clue where i’m going to be living in Bombay or how i’m getting to the office everyday, but that’s the beauty of India, in some crazy way it all works out. The first night i was in town we hit up a club called H20 in Bandra. Great crowd, good music, potent drinks and more importantly massive air conditioning units. Then last night went to a eatery called “Just Around the Corner” also in Bandra. I saw my twin in India, he also had a Apple 15″ PowerBook, which i’m realizing is about as rare as finding Paris Hilton in a sober state. Bandra is like Melrose Ave, all kinds of people from wacky designers to “models”. Great vibe. That’s all for now.
