Mom says I ought to post on the blog rather often, so I will try to spice up each post with some sort of story or pictures.
I went to classes today. They were fun, and over by lunch. My friend Mitchri and I then went to meet up with her boyfriend Karan, and we saw the Smurfs movie in City Walk Mall, which is kind of like a wormhole to the USA. Its big, even by US standards, has hotels in it, clean, air conditioned, and has stores like Levi's, Cinnabon, and the Body Shop.
The henna (Mindhi(?)) on my palm has now turned a deep red brown. While we have four leaf clovers and picking petals off flowers to count "he loves me, he loves me not," Michri says that dark designs mean that my mother-in-law will really like me, and thats why brides get the designs on their hands before getting married. I asked what happens if the design stays light, and apparently that means that your mother-in-law will just tolerate you.
We later met up with Margaux in GK1, where we went to a hookah bar, which Margaux had been craving since she left Paris. I didn't smoke, but I did have yummy Moroccan mint tea and Tennessee bbq chicken wings :)

Your mom had the right idea!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see you smiling and having fun w/your newly acquired friends. I hope that you continue to to find reasons to appreciate the choice you made. I enjoyed the video from the rickshaw. It took me back.Isn't it crazy how they honk horns instead of using a turn signal! That's India for ya. Have you seen any of those small truck piled high w/ Stuff and men- that's crazy too!
Be well
Thinking of you,
