so, on my second day in poona,
yes, that's right,
MY SECOND DAY IN POONA
(shabnum denies this by the way)
shabnum took me to this protest
we were protesting the development of poona's hills
i got some odd looks for being there
but shabnum explained that i was there because this was an international issue
see that ribbon in my hair?
that was originally an arm band
i was helping make and destribute these bands
there was this one guy who was having trouble tieing his arm band
so i helped out and tied it for him
within 5 sec there were 50 other guys who wanted their arm bands too
now imagine,
you never been in a foreign country before,
you hate crowds in general and you're jetlagged.
now imagine 50 guys surrounding shoving their arms in your dirention,
all of them shouting that they want me to tie their arms too
scary right?
well it's not as bad as it sounds.
after a couple of min a few girls interceded
and i was able to enjoy the rest of the march
