# 20 - The Indian Series /3 (Indian Television)

For a while now i've been watching stupid Indian tv...god it's HORRENDOUS!! They have their version of Australia Idol but it's called something stupid like something SuperStar challenge etc...Anyway the type of singing is Indian classical. You know all those annoying high pitched chickas and note changing all the time. It really gives me a headache and yet i've had to sit through it everyday while i stay at Rosamama (Aunties) house.

Even though traditional Indian music is bad, i'd take Indian over traditional Chinese anyday. I mean have you heard that stuff!? The first time i heard it i wondered where the the giant mutant cat's were fighting and then i realized it was just a itty bitty china man...having a ceasure?!

Well anyways normally every night i pop in my (sister's) mp3 and stare at the screen while i listen to music which reminds me of the days when i was a computer bum. Bt today my mp3 has has died on me. The torture never ceases D*x

After the show i watched a movie and there was a big dramatic moment about a mother feeding a different baby. She couldn't because it was emotionally distressing, even though it meant her mother in law would banish her.

Big Whoop! The kid isn't going to grow up thinking "woah i sucked aunti prasdeep's nippys"

Or maybe she would, i know i've freaked out once knowing that i chewed my mama's titties in this lifetime. And that i even came out of her vag!! So my face has all been rubbed in it!! o.O

In my opinion my mother should not have boobs, a vagina or even red blood. that's just nasty and makes the world seem like one crazeh place!! *shivers*

#19 - The Indian Series /2

The day I wrote that blog, i was wearing what i call my preggers tee. It's sorta tightish on the breasts and loose below. As i'm a bit of a chubbybubby it REALLY does make me look preggers x\d

Even though i got stared at just as much, i got more laughed at this time. I wanted to clutch my lower back as the pregnant do but I didn't want to be too obvious to my mother.

As i wear different things i get different reactions. Rather interesting to observe. Today i wore my black flower top n black 3/4ths. I think what i wore this time would be considered more stylish? I got called at by more bikies this time. I gave one the nod and suddenly they were not so macho lol...they couldn't figure out what to do. The bus ticket guy wouldn't even look at my face when asking about my ticket. Something i noticed as a size8 was that i was more a hit with the youngins but this time it seems i tickle the old married dude's fancy as i size 14.

I did not even know these losers even had a preference to be honest. They really do go for any ass. The compassionate side of me wants to start a crusade and give out free porn in the street. I wonder if there are many people here that have never orgasmed ever =/ Like the chickas i mean...Like they get married off and only have sex when it is planned for children.

Hopefully not many, I mean this is the Kuma Sutra (sp?) country after all ;)

# 18 - The India Series /1 (Going out in public)

So it is Day 3 in CurrieLand. I can say the experience is definately different to what it once was. You know when people say that only when you are older will you appreciate your culture more? Well i think i've already reached that age just a little before leaving.I'm sure some would not believe me but it is true!! ;) I was more curious about it and i definately want to leave the country and experience things. My experience here is already different and i feel it really is something else to what it used to be. Is it any better? I don't know yet.

Now anything i say about India, i say in reference to MY india. The other curries i know are from other parts, and i am quite sure they have different experiences to me...But screw them i'll be speaking from what i know and that is Kerala.
---------

I finally have left my auntie's house to go grocery shopping with my mum, my cousin and her. Now if you go out in India, you KNOW you will be stared at! So I thought i would go in something a little controversial. Screw cultural understanding etc. In Australian standards my black jeans and long pink top may not seem like trouble but in India you may as well be nude. My larg-ish sunnies added to the "zomg a alien" look and where last time I was so insecure that i would rather snort chilli powder then go outside in a land where personal space is non-existend this time i realized I could not give a rat's ass, and it even may be a little fun.

The reactions i recieved were various. It is no understatement in saying that all eyes were on me. Cars and autoricshaws actually stopped, school children giggled, bitched (i don't think they know i'm a native speaker), were offended, perved and some were just genuinely curious and when i smiled back they smiled back in intrigue and real friendliness.

The guys of course were as nasty as ever. Especially the older kind. Some dude on a bike yelled out "hey sypen penneh" (hey caucasian girl) and i was also followed. We went into the supermarket which is about the size of two english classrooms (at PHS) and lined up to buy our food. When i looked behind me our line was suddenly consisting of males 30+ quickly staring away from my ass or boobez...I guess the older ones like their girls big? o.O One guy actually had the gutzo to shift away from the line and right up to me and just stare...Instead of feeling violated though i just smiled which startled him a bit.

The shop assistant was too shy to look at look up and answer my mother because i was doing nothing but smirking right at him.

When we went into the mobile phone shop to ask about a sim. My mum didn't have any local ID and said "Nyan ivideh natipaul allah" (i'm not from this land) and EVERYONE in the shop went silent and anyone sitting stood up simultanieously (except for me). It was definately a weird moment o.O

After we took the autoricshaw home and my mother had paid and everyone was going into the house, i was the last one, i thought i'd just have a bit of a laugh at their expence as i always do...So I made sure to look at the driver as i adjusted my bra (you know how you do it outside of your clothes) and went inside with a forced straight face. I thought his eyes was going to pop out of his head.

Whether i disgusted people, offended them or allowed a perve it's amusing to think that they notice and will remember me as they crazy person they saw that day.

I've learnt to take what once was a horrendous situation in India into a stupidly interesting experience. It's nice to see how much i've changed and i like the person i've become ;).

But this is just Cochin...I wonder what the other towns will be like =/

# 17 - Finally at Singapore!

So i've reached singapore. And using up their free internet as best as i can before i need to leave again for another 4hr flight. I HATE hopping from plane to plane...I get this really dizzying feeling. Well anyways, so far i haven't died yet which is a nice sign :)

I watched 3 foreign movies
1. Closed Note (which was rather good)[japanese]
2. Secret (which sucked ass)[Hong Kong/Manderin]
3. A Long Night In Shangai (this movie was so cute and awesome) [Manderin/Japanese]

Singapore Airlines really has a good selection. They even had some johnny's playing xD I think there is something VERY wrong with the air in the airoplane. Like you know how it curculates and it's super cold! gosh...i couldn't stop sneezing! I spent the most time breathing into my blanket.

Hopefully i'm going to survive the next flight =/ We were flying for 1.5hrs extra this time around because of the weather, which caused us not to be able to land. It was nasty turbulence Dx I LOATHE FLYING!!

And it sucks ass that i can't actually GET OUT into Singapore =( I love it in all it's scarily fake manmade asthetics! *tear*...and just a Johnny's store WITHIN REACH Dx

Please keep me up to date with what's been happening with everyone :D
Talk to you all soon!

# 14 - Bored

I have done NOTHING at all lately. So boring...

oh btw I'm going to India on the 19th Jan - 22nd Feb.

Yesterday i got this cute package from my netfriend ^^ She bought me a tourist booklet on Shiga and some flyers on movies. A lot of them are American movies but they are Japanese ads for them....it's a lil weird to see o.O...Still it was really nice ^^ We did a bit of a present exchange. I gave her a small booklet on Koalas, it had a lot of cute photography.

I also got my hair cut. I haven't had a hairstyle for a while, but now i just got it layered. Before i had it a lil layered but it grew out long ago. The place i went to, down High St is quite good, they told me how i should cut it and it is quite cheap. I will probably go there again. I have been told my hair looks like Ms World Hair -.-' Erm...I can't tell if that is bad or good.I really like my hair straight with this cut but when it is curly, it's gonna be shocking ><"

I also bought a cap and did a few things like sending letters and returning library books...zomg i havent seen anyone in ages!! it's killing MeEeEe. I did make friends with this girl working at the Sushi House. She's going into yr 10 at Girra. I asked her to pick a flavour of 'bubble tea' i keep hearing people drink this stuff so i thought i'd try it...so we talked a bit and once i had it...ugh it was weird...The actual tea tastes great but the lil beady bits were not so good ><" I ended up leaving all those bubbles...don't see what the fuss is about with that drink.

Goodluck in your preferences guys! I hope you all find the right path to take eventually...I bet a lot of us won't even stay in our first preference xD

#3= India looms ahead

...yuck.

Every day or so i'm reminded that i will be going to india soon. A scent, a colour, a bumpy car ride xD, a sound...i dunno...but everytime i just think about how badly i do not want to go. And you know the memories come back and i get this horrible feeling in my stomach.

Perhaps it will not be as bad as i expect it to be.

I'm REALLY greatful that i've had a chance to travel and see other places. I'm also exceptionally greatful for being in India during the tsunami and seeing what it had done. I feel so much more appreciation for what i have even if i still whine and complain sometimes i just remember...

I would never take any of what i saw or experienced back but i dunno, i just do not feel comfortable going back.

Atleast i can drown my sorrows in the wonderful food there...Indian food here does not compare to the indian food there. Maybe it's the overly spicy air or the summery heat or their traditional methods...oh man i'm actually getting hungry thinking about the rhoti + butter chicken and mutton biriyani...omg >< and their chickens are always fresh there..and the difference is obvious...*drool*...oh snaps i needa eat a lot of gulam jamuns...

I promise i shall count how many times i get told 'you have gone/are so fat...you will never find a husband ' hehe...i'll make a tally and everything!! Someone remind me before i leave!

Thinking of my survival guide for india has sorta failed seeing as i do not want to take anything there that i may loose...Probably just a blank notebook so i can talk to myself to prevent going looney...but i guess by that point that ship would have already sailed Dx

Whatever...don't want to think about it...

i leave on the arvo of the 19th Jan. If someone would kindly shoot me before then i'd be forever greatful.

ps...i guess it's only 5 weeks...and it may not be as bad as i suppose...
I hate myself for not being comfortable in India. I really wish i was, but i'm just a bratty middle class western wannabe and i just can't help it ><
