Here are some pics I had not put on the blog yet.
A few weeks ago we were invited to Shiva's (Rob's office manager) niece's wedding. Weddings are a huge event here and they take forever. We got to the wedding hall at 11.00 at night and had some (spicy!) dinner. Then everyone was waiting until 3.34am for the actual ceremony. Unfortunately Rob and Steve had started working at 5am that morning and were too tired to wait.
The brides have beautiful Henna tattoos
Shiva and his wife and sister
Rob's colleague got married last week and we went to the reception
We got to put rice on their head for good luck :)
The national pride: a cow with a swastika. It's so weird to see swastikas everywhere, but the symbol has been around for centuries and here in India it means good luck. Not sure if I'll ever get used to it, without having a bad taste in my mouth! I prefer the national bird of India: the peacock....
I had to take a picture of the swastika on our front door too!!!
After the movers had put our furniture together, they just left the garbage outside our door. In the morning it was all gone. I love having maids on a daily basis :)
Venkat and Mikey were helping me do grocery shopping
The super market at Aparna Sarovar. It's small, but it has everything we need. The ladies in front of the supermarket are sorting the potatoes
Our suitcases at the hotel, it still cracks me up
Mikey and Rob getting ready for an outing
