24/03/2010

I went to bed hungry last night and did could not sleep till 6 am, I would have gone out looking for food here but India is a difficult place to find a late night feed.

When I finally got to sleep I dreamt of the cause of this problem, protein! I hadn’t had the succulent, tender delicious taste of meat since Jaipur. Vegetables haven’t been doing it for me, they just run through my system not satisfying me nor have they been filling me up.

I woke at 10am incredibly fatigued and starving, so I went to go get some (5) samosas from the local place around the corner and stuffed them in my mouth before popping a sleeping pill and passing out for a good few hours whilst Emer did a cooking course.

She returned with some left over food from the course that she was happy enough to share with me. I used the internet for a while and we met with Lena where we headed off to see the James Bond film ‘Octopussy’, I hadn’t seen it before and watching it where it was shot seemed like a suitable idea besides every single hotel in the area were advertising it to get customers into their restaurant.

We saw it on the rooftop of the highest building in the area where we ordered food, I had ½ of a chicken tandoori style that was great and I made it my mission to consume every last edible piece of meat and cartilage from the bone, it really was exactly what I needed.

The film was a little trashy but considering it is a cult film and very old, I enjoyed it.

Due to faulty wiring the film kept on cutting out every so often, at one point I went to go fix it as there were no staff about, I temporarily solved the problem but when one of the staff saw me do this they assumed I was tampering with the DVD player. Despite the fact I had it all working this guy just attempted to fix it himself breaking what I just fixed. If it’s not broken, don’t try and fix it!

Anyway Emer and I booked the bus journey to Mount Abu for tomorrow at 3pm and we shared emails and photos with Lena then went to bed.
