Eid 2011

 Eid was celebrated last week.   Eid is the celebration of the end of Ramadan - Go here for more info.
 It's always fun to see the energy and excitement around town on major holidays :)   Here's Aashini outside one of the local mosques.  
 This guy (below) kept wanting his picture taken but kept making this scary face when I pulled up the camera :) haha!
 I eventually caught him smiling :) haha!

Here are the girls hanging out ;)
 I like people pictures, so here are a few pictures of people that were visiting one of the local mosques.  
 This kid was interesting to me.  He made some intense faces.
 For big holidays everyone gets dressed up.  It's hard to tell in this picture, but this kid was so cute in this super shiny outfit! (the pants were super shiny too but it's hard to tell in this picture).
 These guys were super excited and kept talking about what foods they had for breaking the fast :)
  Riding on Cycle Rickshaws around town :)
 There was a carnival next to a really old fort.   It was kinda funny to see them next to each other.  
 These kids were trying to decide what rides they wanted to go on :)  They were cute :)
That's  just a few Eid pictures :)  Thought I'd share ;)

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!

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...
