They took me to the desert...to a place called Bhuj...Booooj....not Booze! You shouldn't place tricks on TLD, bad things happen! Just before we left Bhujodi, they told me were going to Bhuj, not Booze...I flipped out, I went berserk...I descended on them like a bad smell with food poisoning leaking from both ends...make that exploding from both ends! They were sorry I tell you...turned out all that really happened except it was a 24 hour bug that took down 23 of the 24 people...it was impressive! So these maniacs took 23 sick people out to the desert, put us in mud huts with mongoose and cobras all around...and big ass horse-like deer...don't forget those! The sounds that came out of the mud huts that first night would have made Wes Craven proud! Just to complete the nightmare of NO ALCOHOL (did you know Muslims don't drink...how the f do they stay hydrated?), they took us around to villages where the people sit around and darn socks all day...they had a fancy name for it...embroidery or something...go figure. Anyway, here is Cassandra in front of our mud hut...
...and I took this pic inside, with her in bed, but without the naked parts showing...it's Muslim ya know...
...no tv, no internet, living like savages out in the desert...NO BOOZE!!! I was going to call in the helicopter, but the little woman vetoed me....you heard it here first (well, maybe not first) I'm a pussy! So here we are out in the desert without booze...
...there's Cassandra out looking for the toilet...and the next one is her learning how to darn socks...
...here's the head sock darner...
...they had these fancy sock darning uniforms...I couldn't make out any numbers or sponsors...and they were all different colours...maybe home and away or something...here's another one...
...I don't think these guys made the team...and weren't very happy about it! One had to scrub pots!
I think this guy was the coach, but couldn't really tell.
This guy must have been the waterboy...he just kept bringing water!
I took this one just because the kid was cute, and because people made all those sappy comments about me!
...and here's a desert sunset just for Megan!
We're back in Bombay for a couple of days...gawd knows where after that!
Fer cryin' out loud, I wonder how long it takes that woman to get dressed every day and pile all those bracelets up to her armpits and stick all that jewelry onto her face? I aint got time for that!
ReplyDelete...and sock darning...why get all dressed up to darn socks...I didn't get that part...and other stuff.
DeleteHmmm....laying in a mud hut, spewing from both ends..... a human pinwheel of disgust!
ReplyDeleteYou paint an attractive picture...but it wasn't that nice!
DeleteWow! Those women dressed in socks... so elaborate.Or is it all a figment of an imagination hallucinating from a lack of alcohol?
ReplyDeleteAbso-f'n-tively! Me need alcohol!
DeleteLove your pics...but for once I gave no further words...still trying to process that Mud Hut scenario! Geeeezzzzuuusss 😱😝
ReplyDeleteThat is the most BEAUTIFUL photo of Cassandra! Stunning! I couldn't stay away from the pictures after you were talking about it tonight. I avoided them because I recently had a traumatizing interpersonal experience with an Indian, and Indian references became a bit hard - but these are beautiful pictures - will have to look at all the rest. :) :)
