Epilogue – completed on the 15th of June, 2006.
Some of you thought with all of the goings-on in Scotland that I would never get to wrap up the India trip. You were almost right! But here I am again…
Thoughts on India after a week back in a world I understand: (more…)

Day 5 - the 6th of June, 2006.
Show Time!
Getting up this morning is no easy task. When the alarm goes off at 4:15am…
Breakfast at 24/7 is a drag. 5:15am is not my choice time, having come home at 11pm. I take a malaria pill, eat an omelet & toast, and chat with Cheryl (who’s going to her venue for her part of the meeting). In addition to pit toilets, Cheryl’s venue has no air conditioning. Rumors are the food at her venue keeps spoiling. I know I’m in the middle of a field, but I’ve had a normal(ish) toilet & good food.

Day 4 - the 5th of June, 2006.
One day to go before the big show!
My hours have been longer than I’d hoped. I was called in at 9:30am to rehearse with a ‘big’ Indian star - model, actress, winner of Miss Asia Pacific. Someone threw “Poet” into her voiceover intro but, upon discussion, we believe she may not truly be a “poet”… I believe she may be the Jennifer Aniston of India.

Day 3 - the 4th of June, 2006
Day 3 was (thankfully I’m sure) a somewhat uneventful day.
I worked from 9am until 9pm, so there wasn’t any time to get off the grounds to explore. Still, I’ll tell you just a little about my day…
Breakfast was at 24/7, our good old restaurant where breakfast is every morning. I had my cheese & pepper omelet, with 2 pieces of white toast & coffee (and a VERY small muffin). Today most people had earlier call times, so I was at the breakfast place alone.
I decided to sit at a table outside on the patio of the restaurant where the evening before there was a bizarre disco ball spinning above this very table — for no reason I could figure out. (more…)

Day 2 - the 3rd of June, 2006.
I had a difficult time getting to sleep last night.
I spoke with Allan (my husband) on Skype for a while. What a magnificent thing that piece of software is! He caught me up on his Dad’s condition in Scotland. It’s so hard to tell what is happening from day-to-day…
I finally got to sleep at about 2am….
I agreed to meet Cheryl in the lobby restaurant called 24/7 where we have ‘free’ breakfast. In the normal world, Cheryl NEVER eats breakfast, but she’s not very adventurous when it comes to food — and the breakfast is eggs & toast, something she can at least understand. (more…)
