Random thoughts post-diwali

new discoveries as of yesterday and today

1.oxford has turned into a pop bookstore that plays piped RnB hiphop.

2.tiny hidden shops in alleyways (like bookline) are better. there, you can get real tarot cards, authentic art books, good translated works, and asterixes, two of which my mom bought me as a present for the pujas (switzerland and the roman agent).

3.nizam's is the THE place to go for kebabs and firni. and other stuff, but i wouldn't know.

4.there is a church called the choong thong (or possibly yong) church. which sounds like 'choose (own) thong' if you say it fast.

5.i officially endorse md. salauddin, proprietor of rishi rich's juice bar, near chandni, as the best maker of fruit beer and lemon soda in the city.

6.fashion, the movie, is nowhere as cliched as the t2 review by p.d.gupta made it sound.

7.cheese popcorn can solidify on your fingers if you keep your hand in the tub long enough.

8.subway has to have the most expensive and putrefying smelling topping sauces i've ever inhaled.

9.it was dark at 6pm today. india should adopt a daylight saving time system.

10. the very adorable couple sukhalokha di and [censored on request] da will henceforth be known as tontu and pintu. don't ask.
