The View From our Metro :)

We live about a five minute walk from the metro station (like a subway but it's both above and below ground in different parts of the city). It's awesome! Our house is in a great location! Anyway, the other day I was waiting for the metro and took a few pictures from the metro station :)

Here's a market area next to the metro station:

Here's the street below...

Here's a guy selling roasted corn on the street - YUM! They cook it straight on the coals!

... and here's the metro station! :) Nice hunh?

Comic Con 2013

Comic Con 2013 just ended. It was a fun one this year. This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here. We've been to it all 3 years. It's getting bigger each year! I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded! Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :) Aashini and me :) For the Love of Comics... Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!! This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :) There were lots of people there! Me and the girls on the 2nd day :) I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

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!!

Weekend Getaway!!

During the Diwali holidays, the kiddos had off almost a week of school. So, us and some of our friends went on a getaway! We went just a little outside of the city to another state and stayed at a fun resort. Look at the view from our room! Fun hunh? Aashini and Diya got to play a lot with their buddies Sanjana and Sandeep :) The kiddos had a great time on the outside play area :) The boys spent most of their time playing sports! haha! They played Badminton (pictured below), Tennis, Water Polo and Cricket at any chance they got! :) They played ALL day long! haha! The hotel also had an indoor play area. They kids had a lot of fun at that one too :) It had a crazy slide that was super steep and fast! They usually ended up sliding across the floor a few feet after they slid off :) haha! We all tried the slide too :) haha! There were fountains and water ever...
