Mumbai is hot, cool, and hot.

Wow. Day One. I'm not going to make a full post until tomorrow, because in all honesty we didn't do much today (so hot, tired, and disoriented) BUT if there's one story worth telling, it's this:

Yotam and I, while walking over to the Victoria Terminus this morning, happened upon a crowd of people struggling to see some goings-on at a park across the street. We figured that, Mumbai being the film capital of India, we should check it out, so we made our way to the other side of the road (not a simple task, mind you, in a city with nearly patternless traffic) to find Mumbai's School of Art and Architecture, where there appeared to be some kind of film-shoot going on. There was a separation between the onlookers and the crew, but there didn't seem to be anything enforcing people from moving in closer, so we did, and found ourselves standing next to a young Indian couple. Yotam asked

"What's going on here?"
"Filming."

This was obvious to us already, because of the lighting set up, the woman giving orders through a megaphone, a food van, and a couple trailers. So Yotam wanted to know a little more

"What's being filmed?"
"A movie."

The woman with the megaphone directed her voice towards us, though she was speaking Hindi. The guy we were talking to, who now seemed like he was probably an actor in the film, turned to Yotam nonchalantly:

"We're filming a movie. And you're standing in the frame."

Whoooops!
