Concert Fun!!

Last weekend we went to see our upstairs neighbor sing with a big singer here named Jasbir Jassi (check him out here - http://www.jasbirjassi.com/ if interested)....
Here is our neighbor in the picture behind Jassi. Aankit did awesome!!
Here's Aankit again :)
He had quite the band! It was cool!
We weren't sure how the girls would do because it was late (it started at their bedtime!) and it would be loud and things like that - but they LOVED it!! Here's a video of people dancing and Aashini doing some fun dancing :) - if you can't see the video you can check it out here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhCLt7mYUu8

Jassi went to the lower stage a few times and sang and danced with some people in the crowd.
This couple (in the front of the picture with the lady in orange) cracked me up! She kept coming up on stage to dance, but made her husband carry her huge purse! So he was dancing too while holding her purse most of the time :)
Here's a short video of people dancing and the man dancing with the purse about halfway through - haha! love it! (if you can't see it - click here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqR2lM0UO0c)
:)

At one point all the adults got off the lower stage and a couple of kids got up there. Aashini wanted to go up and dance too :) When I got her to the stage she got a little nervous and decided not to get up there, but one of the guys that was down on the front row helped encourage Aashini to get on the stage :) (Please note that Aashini is wearing a jacket... it was 90+ degrees outside, but the wind was blowing and Aashini kept complaining that she was cold and needed a jacket... haha!)
Diya saw Aashini up there and wanted to get up there too :)
Here are the girls dancing... Aashini is doing a funny little dance ;)
You can see a fun video of Aashini dancing. The song that's play is a new song that is in a new movie that's coming out :) Fun! Here's the link in case you can't see it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-13wOLjEFU

Aashini was mixing in some of her Taekwondo with her dancing :) haha!
It was a super fun night! We all had a lot of fun!
Great Job Aankit!!!! :)
Happy Birthday Mom!

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!

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...

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it insid...
