ok as promised im back!
i knew i had to start blogging here again, but i kept puuting it off...but yesterday i recieved a random sms from a close friend which read "khizzy ur india blog is hilarious.i'm dying!"
saddu i knw ur dying...its cuz u were there when all this was happening!lol.

khair...we arrived in ahmedabad early the next morning after a long train ride.the minute we stepped off the 'men in red' swarmed towards us as we helplessly held on tightly to our hand baggage.
we piled onto the bus and as we waited we heard the sound of a 'mandir ki ghanti' and bhajans somewhere close by...upon searching we realized that the sound was coming from right next to the parking lot.lol.in the lot actually was a little (blink and ull miss it) mandir with im not sure which god in it, and next to it was an old fashioned tape recorder playing bhajans...and a man in front singing along with his hands joined in front of him!
"then who's ringing the bell?" we wondered.
then to our amazement we saw this motor engine which was running an aoutomatic ghanti attached to the roof!
lol...priceless!
luggage loaded...we were off...
when we arrived at the 'hotel riviera' , they were'nt ready for us!
*dont know why considering we'd made reservations before cming to india.maybe they didnt believe we'd come.lol.*
khair...they took one look at our cranky, sleeepy, and hungry faces and went into action mode!
in no time...we were made comfortable...in their party room.lol.
yes...they had laid out lots of matresses on the floor...and on one side breakfast.
all of us collapsed on the matresses(sleepily cursing them for not being ready).
the breakfast despite trying to be polite we couldnt eat!
idlis' and sambhars and waras with coconut chutni and the lot is not breakfast we're accustomed to.so we went hungry!
finally rooms were ready for us!
whisper, smily,mao and i always roomed together, since it was four to a room.
fat-brat threw her pune wala tantrum again...and this time to maintain peace i moved in with rj and babyface!(which btw wasnt bad...they are infact hilarious and i got all the dirt on everyone.heehee!)
that afternoon we went shopping to buy saris...and on the way back got lost!
yes again!
our group decided that we wanted to go to this jewelry place our alumni member had told us about and following her directions from the sari market we ended up in this meat market!
lol...yes, us five dressed pretty and touristy walked endlessly and so much we ended up on the other side of where ever we had to go and finally had to hail a rikshaw...sorry auto.
got back to the hotel and swore each other to secrecy.
did ALOTTAAAAAA shopping...
and that night we went to see Swades!
one of the coolest movies ever!Shahrukh Khan ROCKS!
went to sleep happy!
(day 2 of ahmedabad in next post!)
