So me & Aggie are back in Trivandrum & meet Ashley at the Greenland Lodge - a sweet re-union! Get myself another pedicure & a manicure which are much needed, a good hour a half is spent by 2 Indian ladies buffing & filing my hands and feet - i am getting treated like a Queen. Nice job ladies.
An old teacher of Ashley called Migs and his wife Sarah are in town so we all meet for dinner and then onto a showing of Slumdog Millionaire (or Millianier as spelt here) at one of the many cinema's in Triv. Skip the long queue full of Indian men as they have a ladies only queue (note not many Indian ladies at the cinema) - a savvy couple of Indian men take this opportunity to get us to pay for their tickets!!
The film starts with rapt applause from the audience (which is fairly cute) and continues at poignant moments throughout the film. Sadly a few initial scenes are not subtitled but kind of work out what is going on (will have to watch again at home to fill in the blanks). What an amazing film and brought back a few memories of Mumbai, including getting ripped off at Victoria Terminus station by our dear friend Sandy....
Go watch if you haven't already!!!
