Shauna and I arrived on set giddy with excitement and to a big breakfast. We were then rushed off to hairdressing, where they spent close to an hour blowing drying my hair. Which was to make more sense later as the only talent Shauna and I displayed was that of being blond.
Although there was a Bollywood star on stage and a famous Bollywood director, we actually were shooting a "Bling" cell phone comercial. Our little excursion turned out to be a whole day affair as we became the token blondes that seem to be need in everyshot. But we were served 4 delicious buffet meals and since we will do anything for food the 700 rupees we earned was just a little spneding money for later.
Look for us soon on a u-tube video near you- we are all the blonds.
The next day we headed to Elephanta caves which is a gigantic Hindu temple carved out of one rock. This was where we realized out complete and utter ignorance to one of the world's oldest religions. Islam, Judaism and Christianity all seem like variations on the same theme but Hinduism is a whole other world. To our embarassment we keep being surprised there are so many devote followers. And we are still not sure of what to make of all the variations of idols and gods ie small rocks with googlie eyes in a shrine.
