HaPpY VaLeNtiNe'S DaY!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Valentine's Day is celebrated here, but mostly by the "college age" folks. For most poeple, having a girlfriend or boyfriend is not allowed and is considered culturally inappropriate. If they did have a boyfriend or girlfriend and their parents found out... well, lets just say that it wouldn't be a good thing... So anyway... on Valentine's Day, if you go to ANY park in the city, you will see tons of couples paired off everywhere hanging out (and hiding out)... You can see a picture of this below:
Yesterday we went to the park in the picture above. It's called "The Garden of Five Senses". It's a really cool park! There were TONS of people there (and tons of couples too) :)
At the top of one of the hills, there was a great view :) (see below)
My mom loves to see pics of me with flowers... so Adam was taking my pic by the flowers below... well aparently this flower bush was a hair-eating bush! Somehow my hair got all tangled in it!
As we were leaving... we found a camel! Adam and I got our pictures on it :) We just couldn't resist! :)

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!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Jaya's Engagement!

My good friend Jaya (Mayank's sister that lives in M-town) - just got engaged!  On Sunday, I took the trip to M-town to go to her Engagement Ceremony (or Ring Ceremony).  It was a lot of fun :)!   First Stop - Beauty Parlor!  We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house.  The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house.  Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup.  This beauty parlor was interesting because it only had 2 light bulbs in the whole room (and they were the energy saver kind that were dimmer than the regular ones), so it wasn't that bright inside the room.   Here's a pic of Jaya in the chair getting her makeup done.   Notice that her hair is crimped.  They use the crimper on people's hair when it's a special occasion - awesome!!! They put a  bindi  on her head and then the lady painted more and made it super fancy. Here's the finished product (after 1.5 hours)!  She...
