So many of you have been clamoring to me about sharing photos of life in India, so I am happy to oblige.
Today is a grey, rainy day, so I have no energy for anything exciting. (I have that seasonal effectiveness disorder, or whatever it is called.) So a handy photo dump sounds absolutely perfect.
 |
| Ryan and me. |
I know a lot of you have seen that photo, and a few of the others, but there are plenty of new ones.
 |
| the front garden |
 |
| view of the garden from my bedroom's patio |
 |
| remember this birdhouse... |
 |
| because I looked at it from this angle... |
 |
| and painted it! I am going to paint in the park next (which you'll see soon; I was planning to go today but the rain deterred me.) |
 |
| me in a kurta (Indian shirt pronounced COOR-tuh) |
 |
| the street we live on... well one of them, we have a corner unit. |
 |
| if you stand on the street I just showed you in front of the flat and turn towards the other street this is the view. |
 |
| and this is the second street |
 |
| the park a few blocks away |
 |
| another view of the park |
 |
| the view entering our neighborhood (just outside) |
 |
| the same place, but turned towards the road instead of towards the neighborhood |
 |
| Ryan and I in an autorickshaw ('auto') |
 |
| the view from our auto of another |
 |
| homeless people in a park |
 |
| right across from the mall we went to |
 |
| Recognize these? I would buy them for the Friday night Bible study in the US... it is pre-made Indian food. Seeing these in an Indian supermarket made me very happy because it lends authenticity! |
 |
| the other brand I sometimes got- also there! (btw, this grocery store is in the mall) |
 |
| Ryan at the food court |
 |
| Okay, this is Delhi. This is the Indian equivalent of the White House, where the President of India lives. |
 |
| this is the group I went to Delhi with: Aveek, Yashvika, Shushant and Ryan. |
 |
| I think this is the Parliament building? |
 |
| hilariously bad photo of Ryan with Shushant |
 |
| Ryan and I at India Gate |
 |
| India Gate itself (sort of like India's l'arc de triumphe) |
All in all I'm settling in nicely! Today just staying in and working on the blog and learning Hindi!

Thank you for so many pics! I love to see "real life" photos- they mean so much more than the same-old-same-old travel brochure ones.
ReplyDeleteNice painting, too! You should consider opening an Etsy shop! :)
