I don’t know many people who are into cricket in the States, but if any of you are, you may be impressed to know that we saw Steve Waugh, a legendary cricket player from Australia, at our hotel bar the last few nights, which means, yes, that we’ve been at the hotel bar the last few nights too! : ) The head bartender knows us very well by now, and takes good care of us. He was the one who tipped us off to the celebrity presence in the first place, and every time we come in he makes up some new concoction for us to try. Now the hotel is finally starting to feel like home, sad but true.
It will really be nice when the American Grill at the hotel finally gets some steak – it’s been unavailable since the monsoon flooding because of all the contamination. This Sunday night though, there is a buffet and all you can drink martinis for only $18. We’ll be there at 7pm sharp to see how many martinis we actually can drink. Good think Monday is a public holiday – it’s Independence Day in India on August 15, but by the sound of it, there’s not much fanfare, except for a parade in New Delhi. It’s mostly a day for people to just spend time with their families and friends. Having neither here in India, I’ll be hanging out at the hotel.

I hate to harp, but you complain last week for spending an extra, what was it, 20 cents, now you spend 18 bucks on one night? You're confusing =P
Watch out - Indians will stampede for Cricket. Might as well try to learn the game while you're there - at least you'll know what they mean when they say something's a "Sticky wicket"... :-)
