We had such an amazing time last night!! Let me preface this by saying, eating beef is not a very common practice in India since the majority of the population is Hindu & they concider the cow to be sacred. So it's just known that we won't find much meat here, let alone beef... and you just accept it.
There are a few in the group that are Muslim or Christian and they suggested we have a BBQ and cook some meat! It was sooo delish... and not a way we are used to seeing meat cooked! A grill with REAL charcoal... pieces of charred wood, not bricks like we use back home. Started by hand with gasoline from the station down the road and coconut shells! It was one of the best nights here! We started the night off on Shalini's terrace on her roof, but within about an hour it started raining so we moved downstairs into the backyard to find some shelter.
Muddassir cooked beef and chicken on the grill and I pan fried some smaller beef pieces. Shalini bought some veg and non veg food from a local resturant and we had an amazing meal!
Today was Karthik & Yashoda's birthdays and Christina stopped on the way to work to pick up some cakes from the Park Hotel. They were AMAZING! This was my first experience in the office with a birthday! The birthday person feeds everyone cake!
This weekend has filled up very quickly as well! Tomorrow morning I'm getting up and playing soccer with Muddassir, Abdul & some of their friends, hopefully resting in the afternoon then heading out to a local club at night.
Sunday 6 of us are all taking motorcycles down to Mysore to meet up with Vijaya who will be down there already. It's 2.5 hours by bike.. should be an interesting day!
Keep looking for updates. I will try as much as I can!

Did anyone say soccer. Tell me WWW (When, Were, What time). I will catch the next flight over. Do we need shinguards?
By the way I hope no one uses My soccer ball with all the autographs.
Just Kidding,
Have fun and score a lot of goals

Some of us know the wonders of cooking with charcoal! ;-)
