It's gorgeous here. Everything is green and bursting with life! I am staying at the Coimbatore Golf and Country Club for Ishani's wedding. The condo's are brand new, so everything is crisp and clean. We even have toilet paper, clean towels, and sheets on the bed! A vast contrast from my 1 night stay in Mumbai!
Just finished a delicious lunch of dahl, subji and roti on the Coimbatore Golf Club terrace... The food is amazing here to say the least.
We have been practicing a Bollywood dance for for Ishani's wedding for the past 3 days. Tomorrow we will preform the whole 10 minute routine for the Mhendi Ceremony. The theme of the ceremony is "Bollywood Bling". Just bought my bangles and bindhi's yesterday... Can't wait!
Highlights of the trip so far include:
Getting caught in a rainstorm with raindrops the size of grapes.
Meeting "Paatti" Rhagav's grandmother.
Receiving Blessings from the largest elephant I have ever seen. He literally touches the top of your head with his trunk and blesses you!
Shopping (Although it's not quite as cheap as I anticipated.;)
Going to a random salon with my friend Siddhi to get her head shaved yesterday.
Lameness...
Dropped my camera yesterday down a flight of stairs. It literally flew out of my hands. It's broken now... SUCH a bummer. At least I am traveling with friends who have cameras.
I swear I have the worst electrical appliance karma ever!
It will probably be a week or so until I can blog again. After all of the wedding celebrations I will be in the Jungle for 3 days.
Thanks for reading!
Namaste.
Keep 'em coming Britty! Love you so much. Take it all in. xoxo
