Hollywood or Bollywood?

Today Alaina and I took the train up to Mumbai in Maharashtra. The Guptas were not able to leave because they had to take care of the animals and Alaina and I would be taking a few days. It was very nice to get back to a city. We had been very rural for a long time. This is not to say that Tamil Nadu and Kerala were not filled with people, because they were, however life seemed more fast paced here in Mumbai. Alaina keeps reminding me that I need to call it Mumbai and not Bombay. The city had changed its name, yet the memory of my history textbooks has not. We are staying at a hotel while we sightsee. Today we went to go see Bollywood!!! This is also known as India's Hollywood. The coolest thing happened to us while we were touring the set of a new and upcoming movie (which I cannot remember the name of...) Anyways, we were asked if we would be willing to be extras in the show! I was so excited. We only walked down the street, but we were able to get our 3 seconds of fame!
