Day 2 (or 3)
It is Friday morning here in Chennai, and we just had some delicious veggie sandwiches for breakfast. Since we arrived in the middle of the night, and since we lost so much time traveling, we aren’t sure if it is Day 2 or Day 3. I’m having a wonderful time so far, have not ventured out much, just at home with 2 of my new sisters-in-law and Ma. Shukie and I spent most of the first day asleep, the time change is killer. Today, I will head to shopping with Neela. I got a sneak peak at my Ghagra Choli yesterday, and it is amazing. I hope to try it on today so that I can be sure that it fits. It is bright blue and adorned with beads in the shapes of flowers and just amazing. I can’t believe I will wear something so beautiful. Ma also showed me 2 saris that she has gotten for me, both are also blue, one blue flowers on a white background with silver beads on the edge, and one a darker blue with the symbol of India on it. Last night, we all walked to the beach, about a mile away. The sun over the Bay of Bengal was a truely beautiful sight that I will never forget…
