A Day of Mostly Eating
Jan/16/2008 00:38
We spent Saturday morning in the studio while
Maja went to the theater to get everything
oganized for a run-through. There was a
television crew at the studio to film class (with
Dana's and John's dancers and me) and rehearsal.
Some of John's dancers. Here's Vijay on the left - a good dancer with a nice moustache and pony tail, then Vasanth - the best dancer in the company, Nanda - another good dancer who wore cool sunglasses, Johnson in the back - he was awesome helping me bargain with the tailor and Sachin - an aeronautics engineering student.
Before going back to the hotel we stopped at a little store near the studio where I bought a lacey white blouse for $5. We had lunch back at the hotel at Meenam where I had the Indian equivalent of the Pu Pu Platter - Vegatable Thali. It was actually quite good. I also had lassi!
The company coming out of the clothing store (note the lack of sidewalks) and lunch
I took out my iPhone to calculate how much to pay for the bill and the manager and his waiters (there are usually twice as many waiters than in the US - all men) were all over it. I showed them some of features and used it to take a picture
Things were not going well at the theater so there was no run-through although everyone sat around at the hotel waiting for it.
Shah Rukh Khan on TV and on the street, the Shiva temple in the hotel parking lot and a view from the room
When the word came that there was no theater time it was time for dinner so Tati, Miyako and I went to dinner at the other Indian restaurant at the hotel. I had aloo gobi (potatoes and cauliflower), Tati had a stuffed green banana dish and Miyako had a cheese and veggie kabob which she threw up later.
