Most Fashionable Mom!

Sundays at the mall are pretty fun. It's the only day of the week that most people aren't working (unless they're in the business of selling things, if so, it's their busiest day!). Since people aren't working, they like to go out and do fun or relaxing things. The malls, markets and parks are usually packed! The mall by our house usually has some sort of event going on every Sunday. This past weekend they had a whole section of the mall giving out free food samples. There were about 30 booths of free food! Food samples are NOT common here, so it was very fun for us - felt like being at Sam's Club in America on a Saturday...
I digress.... so anyway, a week or so ago, they had a contest on Sunday for the Most Fashionable Mom. They have been advertising this contest for over a month, so I guess the people involved were the finalists.
It was quite hilarious! To start with, each mom had to walk down the runway (while the fog machine went crazy! it was awesome!) and then talk about themselves.
This mom (in the picture below) brought a picture of her god on stage with her. Most people talked for a short time, but she talked a LONG time!
Here's a video (only 11 seconds) of one of the ladies walking down the runway. It was pretty funny. She walks backwards and it makes me laugh :)

Here are some of the people watching - I think the expressions (or lack of expressions) on their faces are funny to me :)
The contest started with the runway and talking about themselves. Then, the judges (pic below) asked them questions (like a beauty pageant). It was really long!
We didn't actually see who won (it was too long to stay) but it was really fun to watch :)

I was totally expecting you to be in this post!! I guess because Aashini is a model, it fits for her mom to be a cute maternity fashion icon too! :)

I'm with Christine and Emily. I can't think of a single good reason you shouldn't have been in this contest. :)

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 - Random :)

Here's a few random funny things ;) One thing that drives a lot of people crazy is honking! There are things that drive me crazy (like people urinating on the sidewalks - yuck!) but thankfully honking is not one of them because we hear it pretty much 24/7. We saw this poster the other day (below) and thought it was funny... BUT not as funny as the Hindi poster. The Hindi poster pretty much said that 'Honking is bad for your health' - haha ! Horns are actually a pretty necessary part of driving here. You don't really look behind you when you drive (most people either don't use their side mirrors, don't have side mirrors, or just have them folded in). When you drive, you just drive forward and you honk at the person in front of you to let them know that you're there - simple right? Sure, it's a little noisy, but you never have to look behind you :) If you go to that company's website it says: "Have patience at the traffic signals, let the signal t...
