Funny Things - Ideas :)

This one cracks me up :) I've been meaning to post this forever... There was a "special report" in the newspaper about a year ago. The report was about population control. Most of the articles talked about having more power. We have lots of power outages in our country. In M-town (when we lived there, it's better now), the power was out 8-12 hours a day. In the Capital it varies by what area you live in, but it's usually out once a day in most places for "load shedding." Anyway, this article basically said that if the electricity in our country was better, there would be less children. The quote at the top of the paper (that is cut off) says:
"If there is electricity, people will watch TV late into the night and fall asleep. They won't get a chance to produce children"
It made me laugh :)

Well, they might have a point. :)
What are the other letters on the picture? All I see are O T B. Why are they there? I like the cartoons. :)

That is HYSTERICAL. Wow. Wow. Wow. I think this is something that the Freakonomics guys would study.

I love how it's presented as a mathematical equation:).

OTB; I'm thinking they are labels:

O = Aurat = woman
T = TV
B = Bacha = child

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 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
