Just Hanging Around...

Adam and I decided to have a fun and relaxing Sunday. We decided to try to go to a big garden that is supposed to be beautiful and only open for a couple of months. We walked around that area and finally found it... but cameras wern't allowed in... so we left and decided to come back some time without our cameras....

We did see a bunch of cute monkeys while looking for the entrance gate :) (Adam was a little scared of them though... he was carrying some bread that we had just bought and was a little afraid that the monkeys were going to come and attack him - so he hid his bread in his shirt... he got some funny looks... :)

After all of that, we went to one of our favorite places to eat!! - The Big Chill ;) It was awesome!!

The night before we went to a cool Saturday market and there were tons of bangles... thought I'd include a pic of them :) I love bangles! :)

Those monkeys!! I had a show down with one over some french fries once. I only won one b/c 1. I used Indians to block the monkey's path to me and 2. there was a slab of ice between him and me so he had to slow down! Were you talking about Lhodi gardens?

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...
