eid mubarak and SWAT instead of bungee jumping
Lunch at my driver's house was a treat! Everyone was clad in bright new clothes for Eid. They'd decked out the place... even bringing in a dining table that filled most of the one room in which Ghouse lives with his four daughters, one son, and wife! His youngest daughter is only six months old - but has a perpetual excited smile on her face! I like kids in general, and happy kids are even better!

We set out in search of AXN's Mountain Dew Xtreme Zone Sports knowing only that it was at the "MCH Grounds" in Marredpally. We set off in the general direction of Marredpally, and found quite a few empty grounds. The ones with more activity had the occasional cow grazing, and sometimes even a paan-walla we could hassle! None of them were of much help - and trying to call the local Mountain Dew distributor on a holiday for directions was a lost cause. We eventually retired to the IMAX and watched S.W.A.T. Yawn...

We finally have a number to call for the Xtreme Zone Sports; but it'll be a little over two weeks before we're able to consider jumping off a crane with a hope, a prayer and a rope.
