Attempting to remain inconspicuous as the PWB guys did their fire-twirling thing at the annual Panditya Street Carnival thrown by the girls at Hope Home for Girls. Sat quietly at a table outside Lifeskills Cafe, a lady with a bag of bingo tokens and a microphone from the late 1980s positions herself next to me. Suddenly, she begins barking orders at the crowds of children in extremely loud Bengali which is made much louder by the previously unseen amplifier which is turned up to 11, beneath my table. Now- instead of finishing my drawing in peace I am at the centre of the most raucous and confusing game of bingo ever seen, and it totally ruins the circus show. Oops.
