Days 20 and 22: Doing everyday things in Delhi


One of my favorite parts of my stay in Delhi was doing everyday things with Supriya and her family.

We did a lot of shopping. We went to Dilli Haat for silver and bangles. We went to the mall and found a lovely silver and red saree that I could wear in Bangalore for Gautam and Sujatha's wedding.

Supriya and her mom took me to the tailor to get a blouse for my saree. That was really cool until I made a fool of myself trying it on backwards on the day it was finished.

And then there was the food. Supriya took me to several restaurants, including The Big Chill (Indian meets Italian... think spicy pasta) and Not Just Paranthas (my favorite of all the ones we went to especially because Supriya said in all seriousness, "They have more than just paranthas here!" upon seeing the menu). Supriya's mom cooked lots of tasty food for us as well. The whole family eats with their right hand but I used a mixture of both hands and a spoon.

Okay. That was a pretty lame post. My apologies. I'm trying to catch up on my updates!
