Above – Having chai Friday morning: (L-R) Me, Pranav (very nice young Indian friend we just met at the chai cart), Chris, Cristy & Nana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lakshmi Road is a very busy district with\u00a0a lot of shops and traffic of all kinds. It’s very colorful and\u00a0hectic. Yesterday Nana took me, Chris and Cristy there so they could do a little (or a lot) more shopping.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>

I loved this stairwell. I have no idea what was at the top of it, but I was compelled to take a photo.<\/p>\n

Flower vendors.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though the roses in this large bowl were at the end of their life span, they were still beautiful and made a good photo op.\"\"<\/a>

These are friendship bracelets. There’s a Ganesha holiday next month and these are sold in advance of that for some reason. In 2013 that holiday landed in August while I was here. As soon as the festivals were over, these friendship bracelets were nowhere to be found. I bought some\u00a0purple, blue & pink ones for Maya and Sanaii.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Chris taking a photo down Lakshmi Road.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nana driving with the string of white smell-good flowers I bought him hanging on his side view mirror.

I slept in this morning and skipped Geetaji’s class due to this pesky cold. I’m bummed about missing the class but believe I did the right thing by staying home in the flat and resting. I did go for a short walk this afternoon to get some eggs and fruit jam. I feel a little better this evening. I’m ready for a good night’s sleep and hoping I’ll feel even better in the morning. Kid’s class at 9am and then an appointment with Nana at 10:30am if I’m feeling ok.<\/p>\n

Feeling optimistic!<\/p>\n
