Funny Things - Rickshaws!

There are many different types of rickshaws... Auto Rickshaws, Tempos (a different sort of auto rickshaw), man-pulled Rickshaws and my favorite - Cycle Rickshaws!

Well, lately it has been raining here in the Capitol. It's not normal to rain this much this time a year!! It's as if we are in monsoon season! Anyway... what do you do if you are on a cycle rickshaw in the rain?? You ride with an umbrella of course! The guy in the back of the rickshaw isn't as funny... but the guy driving AND holding an umbrella - now that's talent!

It's hard work being a cycle rickshaw driver! ... so, they defintiely need time to rest! They can be pretty creative at resting :) The guy below doesn't look that comfortable to me... his head is on the metal! but he's zonked out!

Here's some guys cuddling up together for their afternoon nap :)

And some more cuddling....

OK, so this isn't my funniest "Funny Things" blog... but I still got a kick out of it :) Look for funnier "Funny Things" blogs to come! :)

the other month i saw 2 guys on one with the truck-bed thing, one was sitting on the front edge and they were both pedaling on the same pedals. They flew past me while i was riding a hire-rickshaw! Oh, i'm in town now until the end of feb and maybe a few days longer.

Comic Con 2013

Comic Con 2013 just ended. It was a fun one this year. This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here. We've been to it all 3 years. It's getting bigger each year! I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded! Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :) Aashini and me :) For the Love of Comics... Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!! This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :) There were lots of people there! Me and the girls on the 2nd day :) I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

Weekend Getaway!!

During the Diwali holidays, the kiddos had off almost a week of school. So, us and some of our friends went on a getaway! We went just a little outside of the city to another state and stayed at a fun resort. Look at the view from our room! Fun hunh? Aashini and Diya got to play a lot with their buddies Sanjana and Sandeep :) The kiddos had a great time on the outside play area :) The boys spent most of their time playing sports! haha! They played Badminton (pictured below), Tennis, Water Polo and Cricket at any chance they got! :) They played ALL day long! haha! The hotel also had an indoor play area. They kids had a lot of fun at that one too :) It had a crazy slide that was super steep and fast! They usually ended up sliding across the floor a few feet after they slid off :) haha! We all tried the slide too :) haha! There were fountains and water ever...

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!
