Parenting & Rides...

So the other day I hear a puppy barking like crazy in the alley behind our house... so Adam & I look out there and it's the momma dog with one of her puppies totally terrorizing a rat. It was really funny to watch (at first)... The dogs were terrified of the rat and the rat was just as terrified of the dogs... Eventually the rat died (so that was pretty gross), but it was pretty funny to see the dogs... (OK, so maybe this wasn't the best idea for a blog post....)
I took a couple of pics in traffic the other day... thought I'd share... this guy (below) was taking a smoke break at the red light... (You can't ride a bike and smoke very well...)
These guys were delivering presents... One guy was standing on the back and making sure that the presents didn't fall... the other guy was taking a cell phone break at the light (you can't ride a bike and talk on a cell phone very well)

So, I know this hasn't been the most exciting blog post (I'm just now really getting out of the house again), but Adam did a blog post on stuff on the street the other day and it has some fun pics! Check it out: http://www.southasiarolls.blogspot.com/

Glad to see you are out and about, taking pictures and making comments. When you really think about it, killing rats is a good skill to practice with your kids. There are all kinds of rats out there that they will meet in there growing up years and after. They do need to know how to kill them in their life.

Wow! That first pic was ummm...gross!! I don't know how I would have reacted in real life- But, if you can handle that, then dirty diapers are going to be a cinch!

In Germany, it's illegal to drive and talk on the phone. In fact, there are over 600 different traffic signs here, so I think our culture must be the exact opposite of where you are living. Oh yeah, the only rat I"ve seen here? It was very small and being very efficiently chased by a good German cat, who I"m sure cleaned up after herself in a timely manner. Love the photos and glad to know you are feeling well enough to take some.

Your pictures make me miss India!! (I lived in Delhi for a bit.) So beautiful and such amazing people!

Oh, and I think Indian men can do just about anything while riding a bike... and I think I've seen them do it... yeah, we'll just skip of the rest of that thought...

Pregnant in the searing heat and smog of India. That's sounds like lots of fun. ;) Lifting you up.

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...
