Chewing
Angel has discovered chewing bones. She is killing it methodically.
We tried to tie her outside the café while we were working, but this dog is just to clever. She chewed of the leash three times and then we gave up.

Status of the café
I wrap around the lamp cable with vintage sari fabric.
Now it's starting to look cozy. I really like the lamps in contrast to the colorful fabrics.

Our first meal
Our first meal in the café after a very long day.
Now it's a lot of fun things to do. Bedspreads on the sofas, lots of cushions, old saris on the walls and art in our gallery.

Update
Someone told us the floor was ready. Does it look ready to you?
I called one of our partners and then things happened very quickly.
Angel, Leya and I are waiting for the floor-glue-guy. Nicholas gave up and went home.

Angel
We've just picked up Angel in the University area, in the north of Delhi.
When we came home she was so tired.
Off to school!

Bread
Nicholas is baking bread with a borrowed oven in kiddie size, but the dried yeast isn't working his way.

The café floor
We heard a rumour on the bazar that they've started laying the floor, but the floor wasn't even in the café!
It's on the way though and they will start the work tomorrow.

Harpreet
Today we went to the exhibition of Harpreet Singh at Lalit Kala Academy, Delhi.
Besides looking at his personal art we had a mission with our visit.
Our vision is to give the children here in Pahar Ganj the possiblity to express themselves through creativity and hopefully Harpreet will help us.
The community has accepted us with open arms and we want to give something back.

Wedding
Yesterday we were invited to a wedding the same evening and of course we accepted.
We arrived at 10 PM and there were about 2000 guests at the wedding.
The groom is placed in the far end where the lights are.
The brides cousin and her husband dressed in a fab pink suite.
The groom, with the turban, surrounded by friends and family.
The bride was placed in a small room upstairs. She looked sad as the tradition requires.
We left before her family started to cry.
