CWG - Table Tennis!

On the last day of the games we went to see Table Tennis. It was really fun! The first matches of the day were the women's wheelchair finals. It was Australia vs. Nigeria. We were rooting for Nigeria! Here she is serving!
Again, these aren't great pictures (and this one really isn't) but it's fun :) Diya hung out with this lady during some of the games. We had some fun seat-mates ;)
Aashini did a lot of coloring :)
The wheelchair final game was awesome!! Nigeria won and when she won, she jumped up on one of her legs and jumped on that leg as long as she could and then laid on the ground and waved her arms and legs in the air! It was awesome! The whole Nigeria cheering section went crazy and then the stadium DJ played "Jai Ho" and everyone went crazy! It was so fun!
Here's some of the Nigeria cheering section - they were so fun!
Here's the winner getting her gold medal :)
Here are the flags on their way up :)
Here are the 3 winners :) So fun!
When the military men fold the flags, they get prepared to fold them and then they fold them in gold, sliver & bronze order. It's neat!
This is a bad picture but I wanted to take a picture of Aashini's little buddy. He sat next to her for a while. It was cute :)
The next game we saw was the women's doubles bronze medal match between India and Australia. We were rooting for India. The picture below is of the Indian girls and their coach. That man was the coach for all the Indian teams. He was awesome! Everyone loved him. When the men's doubles played the night before and won, they ran over to him and hugged him - it was so cute!
Here they are serving - There were some crazy serves!
When I play ping pong I'm usually a lot closer to the table :) haha! They were running all around!
India won all three games really quickly!
The crowd went wild! It was a fun day!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

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!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
