saturday wrap up / shahpur - oh calcutta - purple haze

another saturday morning at shahpur- this time with ganesh, his brother and friend from bangalore. the stories were thoroughly enjoyable- about eccentric scientists and god men, faith and science. we drew the first stage of the school on the site in between a row of trees and tried to teach the local site fixer how to make a random rubble wall for the water harvesting tank under construction.

in the evening we ate amazing food at ‘oh calcutta’ in andheri with ranjit, sonal, mukul, rikhav and jayashree. by far the most exotic and strangest dish i have eaten there so far must be the prawns with crab meant, mustard and lots of palak.

mayuri, amit and anushree joined us at ‘purple haze’ in bandra where a small room is made to feel enormous through huge mirrors and lights in strips from floor to double heighted ceiling. there are ridiculous yellow paper flowers stuck o the wall and the music thankfully is bollywood- which is much more bearable than the rave throbs that irritate the hell out of me. for some reason i can’t relate to bleeps and plinks.
