yes, i'm learning to salsa in india...the explanations could be as vast as kolkata is overpopulated...
and yes i'm learning about life as i reajust to kolkata, again where to start in explanations....
1. when salsa dancing, steer clear of indians flailing about the dance floor and steer near those who perfected the artform...the spanish, or that random italian who also knows what he's doing either/or.
2. when salsa dancing...do not bust into the macarana. ahem. not cool.
3. when salsa dancing, try your best to avoid partner toe stepping. awkard for everyone. and a possible safety hazard.
4. when walking in kolkata, pick up your feet, sidewalks offer no mercy to the half hazard stroller. or the chronic foot shuffle.
5. avoid sharing personal information about the music on your ipod especially if you catch yourself singing to an old insync song that snuck intself into a random mix. awkward for everyone and possibly a safety hazard.
6. be open to masked beauty...even when all around you seems dingy and dispair.
7. enjoy running water. because sometimes your water pump burns a hole in itself and it takes a week to be repaired. ahem...
8. in monsoon, carry an umbrella. need i say more...
9. get your hands on any or all of the Office as soon as possible. and if you know how to download season three...help this poor addicted soul.
10. practice being open. to things different. to folks different. to help and love. and laugh in public even if it means that you're the one who tripped up the bus steps...

Do you have ITunes? If so, you can download all of the Office episodes from all seasons. I think they cost $1/each. If not, get it. You'll be glad that you did. Hope all is well... been thinking about you lately.
love,
