Swimming Elephants
It's a dry day during the monsoon.
No, it hasn't stopped raining but, because Ganesh is going for a swim (find out about Mr.Elephanthead ), we can't buy alcohol in town today or tomorrow. Basically for the last ten days there have been idols of Ganesh everywhere, now they are being taken to the lake accompanied by fireworks and drums and then ceremonially lowered into the brakish and posionous waters. Eyewitness reports say the statues bubble and fizz as they go down.
And, yes, the reason that the lake is poisonous is the number of idols containing heavy metals and toxis paints that are placed into it every year.
My choice tomorrow is to drive 3 miles taking several hours to see all this and risk terrorist bombs (have I mentioned India is in open civil war right now) or to drink my reserve booze while cursing puritanical Hindus.
Choices, choices.
