Wow yay! Other people are
starting to do their share of the blog instead of just making me do (and doing
that by not letting me go on facebook until I've written more then they have
ever even attempted to write...) But still... Well anyway without any further
ado...
Hey guys! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and also welcome to 2012!!! :) For all of you that believe in the 2012 end of the world, hope your having a good part of the last year of your life... I’m going to try to be optimastic and ignore all the people that want to follow the Mayan's calendar so here is another short section of my long to come life:
Although I’ve put this blog post
off for the last two weeks in which I’ve started up school again, I'm going to
write about the second part of our break. After we had gotten back from Jaipur
with our grandma, we had a week of relaxing before she left and our
confuseingly related family come in. (I say that because they are really my
mom's aunt, uncle and cousins, but because of the age difference, they could
pass as our older cousins and aunt and uncle... but who really cares.) With
them we went to Chandigar and Amritsar. Chandigar,
the originally planned capitol, was probably the cloesest I have
gotten to America, besides the high-class malls here in delhi, in five months.
The city, planned on a very convenient grid system, was divided into
sectionns. (It felt very sci-fi in a way... i dont know, something about
"we are in sector 35 right now.") Section17 was the
"shoppng" area. We looked there for a little bit and it was VERY
clean. It reminded me a little of Boston with the brick side walk plaza area.
The highlight of Chandigarh though was a full-on circus that we would have
never heard of if we hadn't driven past it. The circus, which showed three
times a day everyday ( for a month), had hardly more than 50 people in the tent meant for
probably 500 people.
For a meer 200 rupees (4 dollars) a person the acts were spectacular... actually really just plain unbelievably amazing. There must have been 200 acts though. (Some seemed pretty repetitive and it dragged on a little two much... but WOW I could hardly wrap my mind around any of the acts) the scariest act was this guy (who had already done 50 other completely different though amazing acts.) who had a tall poll on which he balanced a tripod like thing that had very sharp legs. Then all at once even before you could tell what was going on, he threw the poll away and fell to the ground laying perfectly just as the tripod like thing fell into the ground, one leg to the right of his hips, one to the left, and one right between legs!!! As it hit there was a firecracker inside that cracked loudly right ad it landed and just about the time I thought the guy had just killed himself.
That was only the first part of our trip so I, or if I can win a bet or something unlikley like that and I can get someone else to do it, will write about Amritsar later... like way later... like once Mom takes my facebook time hostage again... well ya hope your 2012 has ended your world yet!!!
