Break from the midday heat blog

It's like 95 degrees out there so I've come inside for a little bit. The train station has many weight and fortune machines so I tried one. It said I weighed 121.5 kilos. That's 267.5 pounds. I don't weigh that much. The fortune was, or advice really was "Travel Wisely, Not Wildly." Good advice at a train station. And the personality reading was "You have the fiery passionate nature of the ideal lover. Compelling, masterful and absorbing." Also not something most people would mind hearing. But reminder how far off it was on the weight.

It's weird sitting in my hotel room after just having walked through slums for the last couple of hours. More on those later. Off to the Gandhi museum shortly then the cricket match.

Did you make it to the Gandhi museum?

How was the cricket match?

What does it mean to have an absorbing personality? Are you planning to assimilate us?

I need to find the Gandhi Museum. I would like to go there. And the cricket match was exciting. See the latest post. And no assimilation will occur.

But I did go back due to being annoyed about the 267 pounds thing and the next machine said I weighed 244 pounds, still not quite right but certainly the fastest loss of 20 pounds ever! And tis time I had a sweet personality.
