one year later
it's been a disturbing day. read what happened on my street in richmond. also, i am reading the Namesake (Jhumpa)right now, and crossed the scene where Gogol's train is delayed by someone committing suicide on the tracks. I will be going on a train on the 7th as well. Just last year, about this time, we were all getting on a train to go to the village...
yesterday i was in a foul mood, and it lifted, but has returned again today. i went to a dinner party last night (that's when the lifting happened) and met a christian indian couple from delhi. the husband is a journalist who reports violence against christians and the wife is a lawyer for an NGO. i also met 2 new people (american girls) who work for NGOs. there is such a large american presence in delhi-- even those not associated with the embassy are large in number.
i'm supposed to go to a party/get-together tonight, too. but i really am not feeling well (in the head) and have zero energy, so i might just go to ghaziabad.
last night on the way to dinner, kelley and i walked towards south moti bagh market to catch a rickshaw to go to SP Marg. as we were walking, we heard this awful wail/moan/moo. on the other side of the street were 4-5 men and a scooter circled around something lying on the ground. the something was very big (200lbs.) and making the most awful noise i have ever heard in my life. i *think* what happened was 2 men on the scooter hit a large-ass pregnant pig. They and the bystanders were standing around trying to figure out what to do with this dying pig. hypothesis #2: pig was never hit but starting going into labor on the street, and concerned motorists stopped to stare. what do you think happened?
