Great Day in India
I'm breaking one of my golden rules of blogging by posting "work" pictures here, but today was such an adventure and a treat that I had to. A few pix from yesterday in Mumbai first, then from a picnic today on the farm of the uncle of one of my colleagues. About18 or so of us went out from Pune after a morning of cricket and had fantastic picnic on a huge farm.
In a cab in Mumbai
In a Jain temple in the hills above central Mumbai, had to be sly so this was shot from the hip...
Streets in Mumbai
Traffic light in Mumbai in front of the train station
Kitty in the rice on the farm
My colleagues
Walking out further to the picnic site
Fuel for the fires
Stoking the flames and arranging stones for the pots
Onions in oil...just the beginning
Chicken...deelish
Getting ready to add spices
Stirring...one in green is wife of colleague who hosted
In the thick of it
Hosts in a quiet moment
The food, better than I've ever had in Manhattan, and it was prepared over an open flame in a guava grove. The plate isn't paper, but pressed out of tree bark.
Looking out over a river at a man grazing his cattle
Same man...at first I thought he minded my taking his pix, but when my colleagues came up he sweetened up and when I showed him his picture on my camera he said, "If I'd known I was going to be photographed I would have shaved."
His grazers
Washing up
My colleagues
Getting a turban as honored guest...how cool?
I don't look dumb here...
