The Chawk!

A while back, Adam and I were in "the chawk" in the Old part of our city. I took a bunch of pics and never posted them... so I'm going to do it today :) My favorite part of "the chawk" is the spice market!! It is sooo cool! I think I sneezed a million times while we were there! They sell spices and nuts & fruits... here's a pic below of a cool guy selling some nuts :)
Here's some kids (below) on their way to school on the rickshaw! It's amazing how many people you can fit on one cycle rickshaw! But hey, it's more fun with a bunch of people (right B&L?)
I LOVE to take pics of people... this lady and her kid were really cute... so I had to take their pic :)
These kids were cute too (and the guy behid them was pretty cool too) :)
These guys (below) were taking a chai break in a really congested gully.
Again... I really like to take people pics... so I thought I'd include this one too :) These guys were taking a chai-less break.
In the middle of this busy congested market is a really old M0sque area. Here's a pic from it...
And another pic...
It's amazing how people can sleep anywhere! Check out the guys in this pic (below)... they are sleeping on those bags! It's amazing!

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!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
