If you'd asked me who I'd expect to meet in the lobby of my hotel in Chandigarh, Kurt Angle and Mick Foley would not have been on the list.

Why are you in Chandigarh (and yes, I know where that is, reasons behind which are an interesting and weird story), and who are Kurt Angle and Mick Foley?

Enquiring minds....

Thought you were in my work-safe group. You are now, hit my main page and go back a couple of entries.

Kurt Angle and Mick Foley are pro wrestlers. Angle won the gold medal in the '96 Olympics, and Mick Foley's a famous hardcore wrestler who wrested as Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love in the WWF.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I forget the details, but I know pro wrestling has a serious number of fans there. Wonder if Angle and Foley tried any Kabaddi?

Once in my keeper-of-the-K-12-school-records job, I got urgent communications from the registrar of Panjab University in Chandigarh. Seems someone from my jurisdiction had tried to foist a badly-forged high school transcript off on them, and they wanted to double-check. The most amusing part was, after I confirmed "no, that's a forgery" and "no, their real marks actually kinda suck", and they confirmed they wouldn't be admitting said student, they kept pestering me to ask when I was going to press criminal charges against this kid and/or their parents. I finally had to get my Deputy Minister to tell them "thank you for your concern, but we don't think this is worth calling the Mounties over."

Can they pull any strings and help move your new wife's family to the US?
