there are many many stories from my now....almost 10 months in india, new delhi..best way to follow me is still on flickr.com/photos/louisewennberg, or twitter.com/louisewennberg or hmm facebook.com.....im an addict yes i am....getting better though.....some days i dont even open my laptop....

My dear colleague ( sucessful, modern, independent ( for being an indian woman in her 30ies) turns to me...
Colleague:what happened?
lOUISE: no varun is ill..has as i understood an eye infection...
Colleague: OH NOOOOOO, well you know, now you CANT look straight into his eyes, then you ll catch it as well!
lOUISE: OK now you re acting retarded my dear! ok maybe if he pokes himself in the eye, i touch his finger n then pokes my eye with that finger I d get it!!!
We all laugh a bit in the car but i couldnt really shake it off my mind...joke, or not? yeah must have been, this much stupidness cannot be fo real!

NEXT MORNING

V picks me up
L: how are you?
V: ohh better now, took medicine last night...
L: ohh good, yeah i see its a little bit red ( btw I wake up every day with red eyes in this country due to messed up AC, fan or just HARDCORE pollution )
V: well you know, now anyone who looks straight into my eyes, they'll catch it as well!
L: ohhh ok...are you sure??
V missunderstands and replies for something different..
V also have to leave work at 11-ish due to his illness LMAO

Ohhh another good one on weird believes in india, where everyone has something to say, add, suggest, question or just stare you out

Was terribly sunburnt last week, ( 6 hrs in the sun w/o sunscreen in the water...) and started peeling off to the point where salami gone brownish was not far from how shoulders n arms n back looked like...
V sees this in the car and looks terrified..
V: what happened!!!! OH NOOOOOOOOO
L: no nothing just burnt from the sun, so dead skin is coming off...
V: you know..
L: no??
V: you should drink milk and eat dry fruits and nuts,...that will help..
L: hmm are you sure??? this is on the skin you know...
V: yessss very good..
