ahhh, you gotta love getting sick at the worst time. Just picked up a cold, or sinus thing it feels like, with Sakshi's wedding today. Could be the result of too much carousing about in the dusty marketplaces, who knows. On Friday, Ankit's mom's school's annual program was great- it actually embarassed me how professional and well rehearsed these little kids were- they did a variety of dances from different regions, a couple of plays, including a skit on Joseph and the coat of many colors, and some people in various roles in the school came up to say a few words about the school year, the programs, etc. A good time was had by all.
Yesterday, we did the remainder of the pre-wedding shopping for Sakshi and we got our mehndi done. It's really dark so if you're lucky you may still see a bit on my hands when I come back. If not, of course there will be pictures. Started feeling a little crappy when getting the mehndi done but it still just felt like the allergies. Ankit and I took a long walk last night so we could get him some pre-birthday dosa, and our adventure took us to 2 malls- ended up picking a place in the second mall called Street Foods of India. It was ok- I think my punjabi thali was more satisfying than his dosa though!! Anyway, got to feeling pretty icky by bedtime and Ankit loaded me up with Actifed and Vicks and it's now the morning of the 7th. He is out at the train station picking up the groom and his parents and the house should be full of people by lunchtime.
