Lat night was the second night of wedding festivities at the neighbor's (two houses away). The music was preferable to that which they played till midnight the Wednesday night. Wednesday night they either had a not very good DJ or were playing one minute of one song then switching to another. Yesterday and last night they had a live band with a great clarinet and some drums. Rakesh said that this was the groom's home and that today they would go to the bride's home for the wedding ceremony and then bring her back.
The decorations for the various weddings that are going on are truly colorful and fun to see. People have a great party for 3-5 days. This is the neighbor's house in the daytime.
View from our house in the late afternoon.
Madhu, Arti, and Nela all dressed in blue today. They and the other women that came later role played and practiced conversations one would use if shopping for dupattas or t-shirts. They giggled a lot.
The terraced land behind our house. Often there is a cow or two or a couple of donkeys grazing there. This is the view that I see from the balcony next to my bed every morning. Of course, sometimes it isn't sunny ....
