Now this is the money part.
After my session here at Barista this morning here I put in the text about Varanasi as I'm leaving the place on the street this guy asks me if I want to be in Bollywood.
They're shooting a commercial with some big star [I think I know who because he does ads for EVERYTHING, but don't know his name]. Later. Anyway, I'm supposed to show up in front of the nearby McDonald's at 8, in an houra nd they'll take me to the shoot which lasts until 5 in the morning and pay me 400 rupees!
I'm speechless, but let's see what happens. Here is the Barista I'm writing from where I was DISCOVERED. The casting guy needs eight Western types. I asked if I wasn't a little to old for the Western guy category, but he said no. God knows what they make of my burgundy hair, a big hit with the Indians. The police at the consulate were all over my "punk" look. Here's the Barista.
