oh, have I mentioned that we have lots of strikes here?!!
hmmm
well yes, another national strike today... so with great happiness I cycled to work on pretty traffic free roads. The protesters seemed more grumpy today tho... in a couple of places they made us get off the bikes and walk about 10 metres (not sure why - flexing their muscles?)... there were signs of broken bricks everywhere indicating rock throwing had taken place... and we saw a group of protesters letting down the tyres on one man's motorbike - because he was defying the bandh (strike)... bit of a bummer to have a motorbike with flat tyres me thinks!
oh yes, and this weekend is the 'Holli' festival. I am seriously considering NOT leaving the house on Saturday, people are already throwing water balloons and they're not thrown in a fun lets-all-have-a-jolly-festival type way, more lets-see-how-many-women-we-can-harass-by throwing-water-balloons-at... its not nice, and pisses me off. Fortunately no one has had a good aim yet.
