Marry me and you will get a Maruti 800...what else could you ever want in life - a Maruti 800 - the car is indestructible - it is awesome - small - compact - has nothing in it - it is basically a gear box on wheels - everyone has one out here and it is perfect...there is no other car that can beat it on the roads here in India! here you can't really go any faster than the people or bikes that are on the street - so your maximum speed is about 20KM and i have seen cars get up to at least 60KM - then brake immediately and start up again at a nice 30 KM speed - yeah - the roads are rough - you need something that can take a beating and keep on ticking...for that you have the Maruti 800 - the RR (Royles Royce) of Indian automobiles...and damn, this car makes me look good! haha!
so it has been a while - i know - i have been without internet access for about two weeks - since i last wrote i have traveled to bilai via a 16 hour train ride, spent a week with family that has treated me like a king, went from there via road to Raipur, flew from Raipur to Mumbai, spent two days out in Mumbai and then flew to Indore - where i spent a good week out there working and spending time seeing family and friends and now I am back in Ujjain for the rest of my duration out here...it has been a crazy two weeks, where i have seen more of the country side, re-established all of my connections and have fell in love with all my nieces and nephews - my brothers and their wives are amazing - it has been a whirl wind of fun. who knew that traveling india and spending time out here would be so much fun! it has been a blast - each home i go to they open their door and feed me till i have no more room left in my belly...it is great - i have put on some weight and i feel great! haha!
so the question on everyone's mind is when am i going to get married (hence the inspiration for the picture, i figured any indian women would throw themselves at me if they saw me with my Maruti (which isn't really mine, but don't tell them!) 800). so i told them, take a pic with this car and send it to all perspective women, i require a full bio-data, with picture and all. they must sit for a test and complete post graduate studies, to just sit around and become a house wife. that is the only thing i want, a well educated house wife...;-) haha! but, yes i am the last to get married on the nayak side of this generation of cousin-brothers. heck, i am already a grandfather and i don't even have my first kid - my first kid will already be an uncle/aunt before they are even born! haha! that is too trippy...anyway, we need not talk about that - i have nephews who are my age! that in itself is too trippy...welcome to a large indian family. but i have given them no answer to their question, mainly cause i don't know myself. my whole family wants me to get married in india - though i know that would be a tough task to accomplish - but at least they have told me when i come back i should come back with a chachi (female version of cha-cha, i.e. aunt) - so everyone ask me, where is cha-chi and when do i get to meet her...and all i have to say, is who ever cha-chi will be will have loads of happy family members awaiting her arrival here in india - and knowing how they have treated me while i am out here, i can only assume she will get treated better! haha!
maybe i should start telling people i will become a jain monk...that might get them off my back!
till later...
