So this is just going to be a random blog of things I haven't mentioned yet. First, I got my hair cut!It was just way to hot and I had to chop it all off. It's so light and fun to shake around, I love it.

Some not so fun stuff, our power has started to go out in increasing intervals. We lost it all morning today and then for another couple hours after it had come back on. This wouldn't be such a big deal if we weren't on the 20th floor and if the A.C. didn't go out when we lost power. These two things make it a pretty horrible affair.

Last week we met Rishi Kapoor. He's a HUGEly popular actor in Bollywood cinema and his family is like an acting dynasty. Huge is also a pun, poor guy put on a lot of weight since he was in his prime and he gets teased pretty bad for it. He came to Whistling Woods and did a Q&A session with the students in which he kindof commented about us like we were ignorant American students who didn't understand how important he was. He addressed us as his "American friends" and then would 'enlighten' us about his career and the industry, all things we know already. I thought it was really interesting to meet someone so important to the film industry in India but I also thought he was a little stuck up. He didn't really answer any of the students questions and was outright rude to some of them. One student in my group asked what is thoughts were on Hollywood becoming more interested in India and, since the two industries are starting to mesh, if that would change cinema in India. His response was outright denial that anything of the sort is happening and then almost accusing the student of making it up "Where did you hear that? What exactly are you talking about". I should have grabbed the mike and told him about UTV's new deals with Disney and Fox Searchlight. I didn't though, instead I've begun calling him Rishi Kapoop in my own head. Makes me laugh every time = )

Also, it's been really great getting comments and feedback on my blog. I miss everyone and I love hearing from all of you so keep 'em coming = )
