Helmet art
A neat art installation put together impromptu by the bouncer at the Morrison Cafe in South Ex 🙂
When we arrived, the helmets and gloves had just lined the bottom two steps. The bouncer had been creative during our short stay…
Truffle Mouse
Look at that baby mouse — beseeching me not to eat him. I resisted for a long time, then I figured, with all apologies to the poor dear, James, and Ami — he was made to be eaten. And in Delhi’s heat, he’d simply spoil if I didn’t put him to rest. <sigh> Broke my heart, but he was delicious! And now I have a L. A. Burdick box from the heart of Harvard Square to keep trinkets in.
jalebis
I stopped by at Green Park market to buy gujjia — a dumpling stuffed with sweet coconut that’s traditionally consumed at Holi. But a) there was an hour’s wait for fresh ones and b) the dude behind the counter wasn’t wearing gloves when handling the rest of the sweets. So I opted for jalebis…
Greasy? Check. Deep fried? Check. But hot and definitely free of germs? Check.
One dude made dough squiggles and fried them, the other soaked them in chashni, cardamom & saffron flavored sugar syrup, and then packaged them. Yummy.
Hello world!
Hello from the motherland. As of March 1, I am no longer in the United States; I am, for the time being, a denizen of New Delhi, India. I’m going to try to update this blog regularly with photos and information to do with my life, what I noticed (ahem, of course) and suchlike 🙂 Stay tuned 🙂
I’m also going to cheat madly and start backdating photos as I post them — because though the blog wasn’t set up, I’ve been taking notes for it since I got here 😉
