The Gulf - Mall Fun :)

The Gulf is a fun place!! The malls are so fun :) We definitely spent some time in the mall :) Aashini loves the arcades and things like that in the mall.
There were definitely some funny rides at the malls. There are the crazy ones that spin you all around!
... or the rides that throw you up down and all around!
... and even bumper cars!! All in the mall - how fun :)
The food courts had lots of choices but of course my daughter chose McDonald's most of the time :)
We went to the movies (at the mall of course) a few times while we were there :) I thought the popcorn buckets were fun :)
Starbucks is in the Gulf too!
The malls were quite fun :)
That's it for my "inside" pictures :) The next post will have some fun "outside" pictures :) haha!

Same Same. But Different.
Not sure when we'll make it out there, but the gulf is definitely on our top 5 list of places to visit. Can't wait for the outside pictures!

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!

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...
