Lunch!
Sunday, January 28, 2007 at 10:02PM Had a big lunch party at home yesterday, with about 25 or 30 people showing up. Officially it was to "welcome me home", unofficially to introduce the Lady's parents to the family. I'm not exactly sure how much of that happened, seeing as a lot of folk left within a couple of hours!
Lunch was on our terrace, and it was mostly Mom's cooking (the deserts were purchased) ... poori, chole, potato saag, pulao, daal, all mouthwateringly yummy.
Nonetheless, it was good fun to meet up with my uncles, aunts & cousins. I hadn't had a chance to meet anyone yet, as I've been busy ... er, planning ... and er, shopping. What's being planned and shopped might be an open secret (Gods, I hate that phrase! It's like your boss saying "My door is always open"), but it's a secret to some, and so it shall remain until the appropriate time!
Ahem.
Anyway, I apologize for the quality of the photographs. There was some pretty strong sunshine and shade on the terrace and so a lot of the photographs came out darkened. I tried to fix them with Picasa but they ended up looking a little washed out.

The terrace is a nice place to hang out - take some balieys, or tea .. and watch the planes fly over .. my favorite is watching the 4:30pm emirates plane fly over ... looks so cool.
Did you go to Namdhari to purchase the ice-cream? They have some awesome flavors.
And, stop being a lame oldschool duck and go to the new, good, restaurants. I suggest two (mogul food): Copper Chimney and Sikhandar. Oh, I went to Queens when I was there also ... still a good place.
A cross cultural study on the reasons why guy introduce girl's parents to his parents yields the same number of solutions as the number of fingers on a guys hand who just had 9 fingers amputated - 4 due to frost bite, 4 from being crushed by a giant safe with the words ACME written on them and 1 from sticking his finger into an electric pencil sharpener.
Go figure.
