Day 2 in Mumbai.
There's so much I'd love to tell and show you, but there's no time for too long a post right now. More soon. You should know, though, that Mumbai is blowing my fucking mind.
Yesterday was the last of the 10 day Ganesh festival. Giant, intricately-sculpted statues of the elephant-headed god, Ganesh, were immersed in the sea. Bloody dramatic. And, thankfully, bio-degradable.
I've made great new friends, am learning so much, and think a revolution in radio here is very much possible. And, dammit, I'm determined to be a part of it. Right now, I'm reading the morning edition of The Times of India. Compared to the ones in South Africa, daily newspapers in India are not only from another country, but another planet -- well written, substantial, beautifully put together. Which is not to say that they're not populist. They're packed with Bollywood news, of course. But there's real news too. And it's not crap.
