Happy belated Thanksgiving! I definitely missed being in the U.S. for my favorite holiday, but we had a little party here. No traditional food due to our lack of an oven and several main ingredients, but we had fun explaining the holiday to friends who didn't know what it's for. In the process, it was revealed that Sue paid much more attention in US History than I did.
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Hari, who I know from UW and is now living in Singapore, was in town for the weekend. We went to Jantar Mantar--a complex of large astronomical instruments built in the 1700's. Personally, I think it looks like a skatepark...
I recently spent a Sunday morning wandering around Lodhi Garden, a big park in the middle of Delhi. There are several tombs inside the park that are about 500 years old. It is definitely one of my favorite places in the city; maybe largely because it's an escape from traffic, but it is also really beautiful.
This past weekend, I went to Delhi Gay Pride--a parade and rally--but I got there late so I only saw the end. Compared to the one in Seattle, it was small, but still loud and energetic. I was happily surprised that there is even a Pride event here, since India is so conservative.
We saw these puppies on the street the other day. There are so many dogs everywhere that I want to pet, but I have to remind myself that I didn't shell out the $800 for rabies shots!
In a saree store--so hard to choose!
