Greetings,
After I returned from my trip to America, the weather here started going kind of crazy on us. When we first got back, things were pretty normal, but after a few days, things got a bit strange.
I was in my room, minding my own business, when, suddenly, I saw a flash of light. I went to my balcony doors to assess the situation, but neglected to notice anything out of the ordinary. So, I meandered into the Living Room, and Dad, who was doing his own assessment on the balcony, suddenly demanded, in his "I'm-the-biggest-so-you-have-to-do-what-I-say" voice, that Mother and I, "COME SEE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!". When I looked down the street, I saw a giant tree laying across the road. Apparently, a flash of lightning and a gush of wind had brought it down in an instant.
In other news, on Saturday morning, Mother and I went shopping in a section of town called RT Nagar. While there, not only did we shop, but we also went to see our friend, Shanita*,who does stitching. She served us Chai, while we sat on her tiny living room floor, entertaining her 6 month old baby, who was diaper-less and sprawled our on a water-proof piece of (p)leather.
Soon after that, we walked down to the Veggie Walla (he sells vegetables). Shopping at a street vendor in a foreign country can be interesting and trying to one's patience, especially when there are communication issues. Mom said "Cilantro" and his brow began to wrinkle, but the moment she suggested "Coriander", he swiftly reached into a hidden bag under the cart. Thankfully, this time around, our troubles were few and our success morphed into a delicious batch of fresh salsa.
That concludes my Indian adventures for now. Tank y'all fo passin y'all lil' eye up to my blog.
