I’ve uploaded a few new pics, but Hampi is not exactly on the information superhighway – more like a lay-by – so not too many pics yet as it takes forever! This one is of filming of a new movie at the AVM studios, Chennai – Tamil Nadu has its own center of film-making to rival Mumbai.
India teaches you to say no, that’s what I’ve learnt through extensive practise so far:
No, no sandals thanks.
No, no rickshaw. Thank you.
No, no postcards.
No, no, no, I will not pay you 150 rupees for a rickshaw just down the road.
No, I don’t need a tour guide, thanks.
No, sorry, I have no foreign coins.
Or Indian ones.
No, I have no school pens. Sorry.
No, I really don’t need a rickshaw.
No, no passion fruit, papaya, mango or pineapple needed thank you.
You’re not in Shanghai next week are you? Question Time is coming from there and they were looking for audience members.
Nope! Arriving in Shanghai some time during April. I would have loved to go though, and pretend to be some reactionary loud-mouthed nutcase maybe?!
I’ve applied to be in the audience – but don’t fancy time behind bars after acting like a reactionary loud-mouthed nutcase though!
No, me neither – but i can’t watch question time so much of the time when they ship as many nutters in as they do… it’s like high-brow Trisha…
