Bye Alison :(

My sister Alison left yesterday to go back to her home in Californa. We drove to another city to the airport (it was chaper)... Aashini hasn't really fallen in love with the whole "carseat thing" yet :) haha! It was soooo cute! When it was time for Alison to go to her gate we told Aashini that Alison was leaving and to say bye -- Aashini just started crying and waving to Alison - it was so sad and cute!! She really seemed like she knew what was going on! She would look at Alison and wave and cry! She was really sad that Alison was leaving.
Today were some local elections. We went in to vote and Aashini got to vote... well... sort-of :)

It is great that your sister could spend so much time with you. So, where are you? Are you coming to Colorado? I have a really nice place for you to stay.

Ah, that picture of Alison and Aashini makes me want to cry! What a sweet memory that you captured. It's funny the things they can pick up on and understand. It never ceases to amaze me!

That is so funny that she understood! She's a little genius. :)
That is so sad! It's awesome that you had time with your sister. Sisters are the BEST!!! Aashini should have one. ;)

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...
