happy indian independence day!

i get an extra holiday!



i finally got to ride in an auto!!! it was very exciting. :)

and this is shags sailing (strange isn't it. i mean, she DOESN"T exercise), in the hyderabad lake, murky and green. apparently there's an animal in there that bites off the bottom of boats.



and her broken keel. one wonders how the boat is stabilized. ohhhh that's why shags kept on capsizing. makes sense now.



and a pani puri place!!!! i LOVE pani puris. :) but nope, i didn't dare eat out of this road side stall.


and. i'm immensely proud of my khurta. i wore it to work yesterday.



so volunteering was kinda hard today. shags had heard of a habitat for india (like the habitat for humanity in the U.S.) to volunteer in, but we couldn't find it. oh well. :) it's watching more indian movies time.
