Wednesday 22nd October - day 61
Mumbai
Pretty exhausted after the past few nights on buses (we actually had a few hours sleep this time) we get back to anjali looking like the walking dead and bum around until our rooms are ready for us. We have some lunch with a guy called til whose a lovely german fashion designer and after some discussion at
the hostel about everyones plans for diwali - a bunch of us head out to the beach (majority pf whom are english).
Diwali is a festival of physical and spiritual light which signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.
We get some rum and fireworks and drink mango and rum on the beach whilst the boys recklesly set off the fireworks and bangers. It gets to 12, we are asked to leave the beach, buy more rum, take some pictures climbing on a bull dozer and head back towards the hostel. The night quickly spirals into chaos of more rum, motorbike rides and spending the early hours chatting from the middle of a road (so we dont bother the neighbours) and me falling asleep and waking to no shoes.
