thirst. mocha. aretha

it turned out to be quite a party last evening. after ‘thirst’ alan and deborahs film on the privatization of water sources in california, bolivia and india (very effective and a necessary a film) we (kuntal, mukul and me) were with them at ‘mocha’ smoking peach flavoured hookah and drinking exotic international coffees when bahaar (just back from the us) and saurabh and ranjit (who were at null bazaar for a reccy) called and met us there. so there we were, adding to the international quotient at a place that was anyway so very heavily populated by the young tourists and backpackers making their way through mumbai. the food was bland and luke warm and the coffee pretty stale – but its never about the food , right?
car music: aretha franklin – the queen of soul box set. the title says it all. a voice that can make you cry. the mid sixties stuff- ‘lady soul’ and ‘i never loved a man the way that i love you’ are stupendous and the latter merely great.
