You know you're adjusting well to India when...

20. You watch Marathi American-Idol style programs and enthusiastically, almost violently, support one contestant.
19. You actually SMS (text message) your vote for the singing contestant to the show.
18. You wake up in the middle of the night to people screaming and beating on drums outside and actually fall back asleep.
17. You bargain an 800-rupee shawl down to fifty rupees.
16. You drink the tap water, and you're fine (so far....).
15. You watch the Marathi soaps and get really invovled, even though you have no idea what the heck's going on.
14. You put ketchup on your pizza.
13. Rickshaw rides suddenly seem relaxing.
12. People stop asking if you're American and start asking if you're Swedish.
11. You know and sing along to all the hottest Bollywood songs, even though you have no idea what you're singing.
10. You enjoy the burning feeling that comes with eating full-heat South Indian cuisine.
9. Your bottle of hand sanitizer is gathering dust in your corner instead of being clutched in your hand 24/7.
8. You don't blink an eye when you hear a remix of "Summer of '69" at the hottest club in town.
7. Scraping the layer of dust off your feet each night no longer grosses you out.
6. You eat three slices of Domino's pizza along with a pound of chocolate and wish you had eaten a dosa instead.
5. After two months of yoga, you can finally touch your toes.
4. You eat soup with one hand and no spoon.
3. You still dream about Kraft Mac and Cheese, but with decreasing frequency.
2. You pay thirty rupees for lunch and feel overcharged.
1. You do a double-take when you see a girl in a tanktop and start wondering how her parents must've raised her to be so immoral.

Love,
Sarah!
