It was quite a normal day in Kerala, except, maybe it was new years eve and I had dressed up in my new 120 rupee-dress (meaning something like 15-20 kr) bought in the big city near by, instead of walking around in my normal rags. Today was also the day of the elephant parade down at Cherai beach and we were all going there to watch. As we were waiting for the elephants to arrive, we had a cup of coffee (meaning chicory-powder coffee with alot of milk and sugar; I don't know if it actually goes under the term "coffee", but it is nice anyway), which I didn't finish straight away. Being very into my camera, deleting pictures, I looked up only to realise I was being photographed with two big-shot cameraes.
The next day our caretaker Albert, came by and said that I was now famous "all over India," showing me the newspaper. I had made it to the front page with a small text saying something about tourists, Cherai beach and elephants ( if you can read Malayam, you are more than welcome to translate!).
As I am writing this, just an hour with ferry across the sea to Mumbai, I guess my destiny is sealed; Bollywood next.

Bollywood er næste stop!Måske du blir fanget ind der også!Du kan jo starte med at gå på natklubben Enigma på JW Marriott Hotel og hænge sammen med Hindi- filmstjerner og andre hippe indiske millionærer.
Eller bare henge i tjukkeste turistdistriktet. Funka for meg.
Ingrid og jeg hadde store planer i dag ja; vi baade sminket oss og tok paa de beste plaggene vaare da vi dro inn til byen (spradet rundt i turiststreoket, eller paa kunstmuseet og reisebyraa...), men ble vi oppdaget? Nei... naa er vi tilbake til busshjemmet paa den andre sida. Litt skuffet - kanskje mest fordi min planlagte oppfoelger "the day I made it in Bollywood" gikk rett i dass...
Jeg ville heller brukt enn pølse enn en kopp om jeg skulle herma etter elefanter. Men pølser er kanskje ikke så lett å finne i India.
