Funny Things - Welcome to the 50s!

I got a swimming membership at a local pool. I LOVE to swim!! I'm so happy to be swimming again :) It's almost the only way I can do exercise here. I get dehydrated very easily, so swimming is the perfect exercise for me when it's super hot! I love it too :) Anyway, on the first day I went, I saw this awesome old vibrator belt "exercise" machine outside (the pool also has a workout facility). It cracked me up!!! (you can look at a funny old picture of people using these back in the day if you click here).
If you look closely at this picture you can see the brand of it - "Mona Lisa" hahahaha! That made us laugh a lot! It's just funny to me... the painting of the Mona Lisa doesn't show her body at all, so it's just funny that an exercise machine was named after her :)
It was even funnier that it was out in the parking lot :) I just had to play with it :)

This just makes me laugh... and makes me curious about "pool culture" where you live. Hmm... perhaps I'll have to send you an email with my questions.

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...
