Time for an update! Last night was one of those nights where I wish I could carry a camera with me at all times. (I guess I could use the one on my phone, but of course I don't know how to download the pictures from it...)
My buddy Andrew and I decided to go out to Blue Frog, a club known for live music and an expat vibe, in Lower Parel. We couldn't quite find it after having the cabby drive up and down the street a few times, so we decided to get out and walk. On our walk, we passed a building with a courtyard blaring some music. It had also attracted a crowd of people, intently watching the happenings inside. Naturally, we stopped to look. It was an Indian wedding celebration.
It's wedding season right now in Mumbai. Since it's the most comfortable time climate-wise, Indians tend to get married more in these months. Anyway, as I was saying, we stopped to take a peek at the celebration happening. We decided to keep walking, when one of the men from the wedding ran out and nabbed us. After grabbing us, literally, he insisted we come in to dance for a little while. Hesitant, we decided to give it a shot.
It only took about ten seconds for me to have ten elementary aged kids surrounding me showing off with their very best Bollywood moves. It was a blast! There were people taking pictures/videos which was quite funny. My only regret about the experience is that i didn't have my camera to capture it.
I need to have it with me at all times!
