A Wonderful Day

December 26th was Mendhi day for the wedding! One or two days before an Indian style wedding, the bride and gets Mendhi put on. This is called Mendhi day. On Mendhi (also it is called henna day) day they get these professional people that put Mendhi on you (hands, feet are optional.)as well as the bride (but the men and boys do not do it) Only the women and girls do it. They do Mendhi just to get the bride ready for the wedding and make the skin pretty. After the Mendhi is done, they will mix lemon and sugar or lime and sugar together and they will take cotton and slightly rub it on your hand so then the Mendhi won’t fall off. By the way, they did that all to me and I did it on my feet as well. The color of the Mendhi is dark brown and the pattern is very pretty. It fades away after a few days. Hopefully, it won’t fade away before I come back
The cool thing was I got see buffaloes on the road. There were like 20 buffaloes they were all black with huge horns. At the end there was a baby trying to catch up with rest. It was cute but funny!

Weekend in India

Did you guys know that in India they don’t use tissue paper they use water and wash it. Also in India they have these different toilets that you have to squat down and then go to the bathroom. It is very hard.
When you’re on the road in one minute you will hear like ten honks. It’s very annoying. The food is AWESOME!!! It’s not spicy but you can make it spicy only if you want to. To make it spicy you add marchu. Marchus are different kinds of spices (including red chili pepper).
Also today I’m going to my relative’s anniversary. My relatives are Shivani Ben, Avani Ben, Amul mama, Shoba mami, Dadima, Shreya, and Saumya. At the wedding anniversary it was so fun there was a beautiful waterfall. There was also two bridges. It was really fun!
The weird thing is that at least once a day we either go to somebody’s house or go shopping. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays!

What I did on Friday

Hello,

Arriving in INDIA

NC-NY: We had to wake up at 2:45 Sunday morning. At 3:30 we got to the airport. The bad thing was that when we arrived the lady said everything on the paper was wrong. The lady had to make our new flight which was pretty bad and we didn't like it very much.

NY-London: The flight ride wasn't that bad but we had to rush a bit. I was really tired and it was a pretty long walk from the gate.

At London: It was awful. We had to stay a night at a cousin's house, wake up in the morning, and then go. We had missed the flight from London to Mumbai. While we were at the airport, the alarm went off. The only thing we heard on the P.A. was "Evacuate the airport immediately." We didn't know what it was, although we thought it was a terrorist attack. Finally, the P.A. stopped and they announced that it was a fire alarm for a small fire. We were all ok now. We lost our seats and had to find new ones. That was a scary time and my heart was beating.

London to Mumbai: My mom, my sister, and my sisters friend had to fight with the Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines. The fact was that my sister's bag was missing. We had to fight with them about that and it was awful. After a while, luckily my sister found her bag. On the plane you could have almost anything you wanted.

Mumbai to Vadodara: Wow, it was only 45 minutes on the plane. On the plane there was a tv but not much we could do. There were India movies because we were on a domestic plane. They did not have good snacks so I barely ate anything. I hope they will have better things to eat next time. When we got there, my cousins were there and they came to pick us up and took us to my grandma's house (my mom's brother lives there with his family). We had a lot of fun!

My first day in Vadodara: The first day in Vadodara, I got kicked by a cow. We went to go try to pet a cow on the streets. When we tried to pet the cow, it kicked us. I didn't like it but it was funny.

WELCOME!

Hello Welcome to my blog! When I go to India I really want to either ride on a elephant, or Camel. Also I really want to milk a cow. My parents asked me if I wanted to take a shower in the ocean but with clothes on of course.I also would really like to by a lot of clothes and jewelry.
The bad thing is that I can't pet any dogs because they are stray.
well bye
