Christmas is Coming!

The city is starting to look a little Christmassy! Every year there seems to be more Christmas stuff out in our city. The malls are crazy-decked out this year!
There are plenty of scary Santa masks!! Aashini doesn't seem to be scared of Santa this year... we'll see when she sees someone dressed up in this mask!
Santa with blue glasses made me laugh :)
The other day I made about 100 no-bake cookies! My friend Erin and I wrapped them up (individually) and put a note on them and gave them out to our friends in another part of the city :)
Here's the finished product! :)

I love playing Santa and giving out baked goods to all of my local friends. Sadly this year I just haven't had time. Yours look great though, I hope your friends enjoy.

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...
