२० देस ऎंड कोउन्तिंग

My Indian friend Sapna tells me that, tragically, India is nothing like the awesome, widget-worthy film, "The Darjeeling Limited." For instance, it is a bad idea to fall asleep on trains in India because that is how people disappear. Also, Indian women do not have (consensual) extra-marital sex nearly as often as Wes Anderson would have it (or, you know, at all.) Also, everything in India is not turquoise!
I find that last bit the most tragic part of all.

I have my blog automatically translating titles to hindi for me. So the title of this entry should say "20 days and counting" in hindi, because that is how long it is until I leave for Bangaluru. (I have been trying to say "Bangaluru" instead of Bangalore because it is much more fun. Doesn't it sound like the name of a poodle? Not a tiny poodle. A standard poodle.)



But I don't really have any idea what the title of this post says. I just typed in "20 Days and Counting". So, perhaps my bloguru (yea, i wasn't kidding in the sidebar) is fucking me over, and saying something inappropriate instead, about, say, poodles and their deep chests and muscular hind legs.

Hopefully, I'll know for sure by the end of the semester.
