The Adventures Of Bindi Girl: (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
It was great to be off the beaches for a change, and I was immediately smitten with the richness of romantic, “typical India” in all Her glory. Thrilled to be tap-dancing gaily through the narrow paths of the Old City, I ambled over fresh, steaming cow patties and competed for right-of-way with the largest milking cows I’d ever seen. I delighted in downing tiny cups of syrupy sweet chai at every corner for 1.5 rupees (about three cents) a glass, thrust in the midst of ear-splitting Hindi music blaring over every shopkeeper’s loudspeaker: Om Namah Shiva! Om Namah Shiva! Hari Hari Hari! Om Namah Shiva! I asked the boatman who took me for a 5:30 a.m. sunrise float on the Ganga why Indians feel they MUST play the music at such constantly high, distorted levels. He explained, “It’s so everyone can ENJOY, no matter where they are in the city.” A reasonable answer. Couldn’t argue with that one.
