Jain is back
Last night Jain came home from Goa.
He'd cut himself very badly on some glass. A vein was broken, so he barely made it to the hospital.
He was very lucky!

The Prana factory
Today we visited the Prana nail mat factory. They were stitching black and red mats.
And the ladies were gluing the purple.
Many spikes to glue on each mat. 230 pcs to be exact.

Pawan and Isha
Pawan and Isha's wedding album. It cost them 900 USD!
They spend too much money on weddings here in India.
Amazing album though.
Pawan and Isha are so cute together.

At the Happy sikh's home
We were invited to the Happy sikhs home for some tea and snacks.
He was also giving food in the street, but he had a bad ear infection, so his son the Car sikh, Pawan, had to do all the hard work.
Some put a sock in their pants to get girls, but this youngster, behind the Happy sikh, puts an onion under his cap to get the sikh style.
Pawan and his mother.
Leya is eating the smallest dessert I've ever seen.

They gave food to everyone for free.
A golden orchestra.

The cute bags contain a hand made jewelry of vintage sari fabric from my collection Annie Nero Design.

Stop in traffic
So many things are happening these days. Holidays, weddings and this.
They had a very heavy statue of a God on the roof of the car.
They played drums very loud, what a surprise, and created a massive traffic jam.
I asked the landlord about the woman with the plant on her head and he told me they were celebrating that she had given birth to a healthy boy.

Noise
Yesterday it was a terrible noise in our street. Drums, screaming and scary fire crackers.
It went on for hours and finally this woman came out.
Why does she have a plant on her head?

Big, big birds
Two men were throwing some kind of food in to the air, so lots and lots of birds of prey circled in the skies above us.
Amazing!
Amazing!
Winter
It's winter here in Delhi, so they have blankets on the goats.
Well, it's 25 degrees so it's like a Swedish summer.

Funeral
Today we went to a sikh funeral. 
Of course very sad for the family, but the Indian lunch was good and it was interesting to experience their funeral ritual.

Leya's birthday
Yesterday it was Leya's 4:th birthday and we had to sing "Happy Birthday" three times before she woke up.
At school they sang for her and she was very proud standing there on the desk.
She got a surprise dress from the Happy-sikh.

Sikh cermony
We went to the principals home to show our respect for the dead father.
We were invited to the dead man's house and there was a sikh priest reading from a large sikh holy bible.
They read from the bible three days and two nights and yes, the priests are reading in shifts.
On wednesday we are invited to attend the cermonies in the sikh temple.

Bull blanket
A bull with a special made blanket for his hump. So cute!
The bulls are delivering bags of rise all over Main Bazar.
Amazing to maneuver a big bull in the Indian traffic.

Demolition
The Indian government have decided to broaden the Main Bazar Road with about 5 meters.
They don't inform the business owners before they start the demolition and they don't compensate them for the mess.
This shop we visited yesterday and we came back today to take photos for our website, but they sat inside the shop in chock since a big part of their shop was gone.
We wondered if it's so wise to remove parts of the buildings? Will the remains be stable enough not to collaps?

Father's day
Yesterday we celebrated the Swedish father's day.
Nicholas got a new computer bag from Leya.
Indian tea, chai, is full of sugar.
Leya wants all of it.
Then we went to a Fun City in a shopping complex for Leya to play.

Our home
We've put a sticker with the Goddess Lakshmi's footprint on the floor.
It will give us the wealth we are waiting for.
Our living room with the smallest fat TV on the market and vintage saris as curtains.
Leya and I have put photos of our family in the windows in the livingroom.
Leya's sister Emmi, who lives in Sweden with her mother, got her own window place.
We miss her a lot!
The hall/computer central with a bedsheet we bought in Jaipur as a wall decoration.
The small kitchen.
We are not cooking food here yet, but you never know.
This room we have sorted for Jain when he arrives from Goa next week.
I can't believe I have a grown up indian son.
Today we built this room divider in our bedroom.
Our mattresses on the floor. Nice and cozy!
