Old City Fun ;)

So, a few days ago, we went around the Old part of the city with our friends the Highs. They know all sorts of cool places to go and see in that area, so it was fun :)
They had one of those "Flat Stanleys" so they were taking some fun pictures with him as they went :)
I caught this guy picking his nose :) haha!
Here's Adam with Aashini in the depths of the old part of the city :) I thought this monkey was making a HILARIOUS face :) haha!
We saw some really fancy decorated temples. It was really interesting and fun :)
And... at the end of the day Aashini had her first Metro ride :)

Awesome shot of the temple! Nat. Geographic worthy! We forgot about flat stanley! We need to send another one of those around... our first attempt got lost somewhere in postal land :(

Cool pics. What cracks me up is not only is that guy picking his nose (big time) but he looks like he is tied up too? What in the world is that all about? LOL!

I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed the nose guy all tied up- that's odd! The pics are so neat! I really like the first one and the one of the temple- so cool. How did Aashini like the Metro?

Aashini is a super extrovert already (which is good sincewe live in a city of 17 million people!) so she LOVED it :) haha!

I think that guy (that's picking his nose) has his head wrap thing tied around him... still don't know why... maybe just playing around... haha!

the monkey one is hilarious! why was the man tied up? oh, wait, i see that about a dozen other people commented on that...
and is riding the metro there as traumatizing as they make it look on 'the amazing race'? everytime an american woman gets on a metro out there on the show, she gets groped by creepy men... aashini doesn't look too worried.

Well, we're on the Metro (which is an underground and above ground subway type thing) and it's nice - crowded but nice :) ... and usually on the Amazing Race they have ridden on trains... and the ones that they've ridden on are completely crazy!(not all trains are like that though - some are awesome! :))

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...
