Super Bowl MONDAY!

Yes, I did say that correctly... SUPER BOWL MONDAY! yesterday morning (Monday) at 4:30 AM... the Superbowl came on here on our ESPN channel! So, a bunch of us got together at a friend's house to watch it! So at 4:30 AM I was watching football (which is hardly ever on TV here), eating brownies, salsa & chips and drinking coke :) It was fun :) The only problem was that we didn't get any of the good commercials... we only got local commercials... There was a cycle of the same cricket and football (soccer) commercials over and over... oh well :) It was fun to be up that early watching football :) I definitely wouldn't do that for just any game though... but that was definitely fun :)

In other not-as-interesting-news... we got some new chairs!!! :) We were out with some friends helping them look at furniture and we saw some chairs we liked :) They were VERY comfortable and a great price, so we got them! Now our house is starting to feel more comfortable :) And we now have some plaid chairs!!

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...
