-becoming quite the hindi movie expert these days. i'm sure it hasn't hit the american box office but the new hit in town is "Singh is King". and boy does it live up to the bollywood name of cheesey. the beautiful thing about watching most hindi films...lets just say it doesn't take a lot of work to understand the plotlines...plus as a bonus the ending song had none other than snoopdog. yes, serving fried chicken to his indian brothers and dressed like an indian raja king. you tell me, career high...we'll see.
-officially signing my own flat contract...with sarah moved out and kristin moving home looks like its time to wear the pants and become a real live adult. i have a few spare rooms if anyones looking for a room mate...in tropical kolkata. come on people, you can't run from your calling forever.
-today two of our ladies who sew weekly at our flat kicked into high gear older sister mode. as we reflected on the sadness of my soon to be empty flat without sarah and kristin in it. but their conclusion was to pray for many guests to come and stay with me. i loved that was their solution. their concern and love for me this morning made me want to weep actually. and one of them told me i prayed so beatuifully and cleanly in bengali during our morning prayer time, which i've never heard anyone say about my struggling bengali prayer life before...
-a man let me enter before him on the metro (and i didn't even shove the elbow to assist his decision...) and i realized again how far a bit of kindness goes in this place.
-went to my first Adoration last week at mama t's home. was beautiful to be with the sisters as we spent an hour in contemplation and stillness. i need my catholic brothers and sisters to offer a little direction about all that bowing and kneeling...but still even in my blundering attempts i met God there and see that i've discovered a little oasis in the midst of my weeks...
-i'm still glad to be back in kolkata...a good sign.
so here's a few random thoughts from my week. more to come when i'm not so tired. peace.
