Horn OK Please!

This week we met Loveleen Tandan, co-director of Slumdog Millionaire!! She was an absolute inspiration to talk to and she's such a positive person with great energy. She made me that much more excited to get going with my life and my career. Here's a picture of us (we're buds!! It's documented!):I also took some pics of the school so you guys can see where we've been studying. It's really nice, very pretty! Here's a model of it, pic of the courtyard, and a view of the center hall (round part):

Also, we went to the beach yesterday and I got Mehndi (henna). It's not real henna, they just did a cheap stamp application for 10 rupees (20 cents), but it was fun. I'm planning on getting the real thing done before I go back to the US. I'm also posting a couple more pictures upon request of a Mr. Ahern.


The title of the blog "Horn OK Please!" refers to the traffic in Mumbai. It's so ridiculous and the cars have so little visibility that honking is the only way to prevent someone from crashing into you. It's not an angry road-rage thing it's a way of life. You honk to let someone know you're behind them, you want to pass, or that they're running you off the road/across the divider into oncoming traffic. Our rickshaw driver last night was just honking for the hell of it. There was no traffic on the backroads but I guess he was so used to it that he'd just rail on the horn every couple minutes... maybe he just liked the sound of it.... "Horn OK Please" is written on all the trucks and some cars.
