So I have this stupid chronic health issue that I’ve alluded to a couple of times here, but don’t really want to get into, and unfortunately, I got over to India and it flared up, so I had to come home early, about which I’m very bummed. Also still feeling crummy, partly because of the jet lag which, I’m telling you, has been epic.
On the plus side, I was able to do my presentations at the book festival. The kid readers there were terrific. With one group I had an intense debate about whether Conn and Rowan are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend (the kids said yes, I say, oh my gawd, no).
Because of the ick, I didn’t manage to take any pictures, but a new writer-buddy, Wendy Orr, sent along some of hers, one of which I share with you. 
This is in front of the fancy hotel in Delhi. Notice the fountains, the colored spotlights, the blue fairy lights, the flaming torches. You think that’s cool, you should check out the hotel lobby. Fan-cy.
So anyway, one night I’m out there waiting for our car with another new writer-buddy, Lian Tanner. With us is our minder, who is Indian, and standing nearby are a couple of taxi drivers and a bellhop. Thanks to my friend K, I’ve watched a couple of Bollywood movies, and I’m trying to explain them to Lian, who has never seen one. Minder and I are laughing about the "my heart is full of the pain of disco" song from Om Shanti Om. Then I start singing the refrain from "Deewangi Deewangi", and the minder, the taxi drivers and the bellhop join in, all of us doing the dance and the hand motions…
Only click those links to the videos if you want to experience PURE AWESOME.
