Technical problems are usually a sucky way to start a Monday. Help often comes with an accent that's incomprehensible. But the voice at the Yahoo call center was from India! I ended up telling the nice woman about the female forest rangers at Gir. She hadn't heard about them! She did recognize my name for them ("
van rakshak sahayak") and said my Hindi pronunciation was good. (The trick is to keep your tongue back, and purr.)
You hear about
gang rapes in India, but I just saw this
movie Chak De India where women lunching at McDonalds beat the special sauce out of harassers. Maybe it's women's empowerment... or maybe just the toxic effects of Chicken McNotfood.
