got sick of convalescing in my apartment today, so I walked down to the Indian strip in journal square for some uthappam, chaat and masala tea.

I forgot to bring a book with me, so I eat while watching indian mtv on a big highdef screen. lots of gyrating in saris, occasional references to a swords and armor glorious past, cool indian men all have facial hair, commercials for products from hindustan unilver.

from saris and swords,
the universal language emerges:
hello, kylie minogue!
