videos!

We shot some videos that will give you insight into the sounds and happenings of India. That's all I have to say about it- check them out. Make sure to have your volume turned on!

In totally unrelated news, Mayawati, Uttar Pradesh's Chief Governor, bussed in two million BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party) "supporters" to Lucknow on Monday. These "supporters" are villagers from throughout the state who just wanted a free trip to Lucknow. She is supposed to be an icon as the first dalit woman Chief Governor, but really she is infamous for her ludicrous and unnecessary spending, including a slew of statues and monuments in her honor. You can read about her garland worth half a million rupees($10,000 usd- a fortune by Indian standards) here.
