Show and Tell




Today, I am all over the place planning my move to Delhi. So instead of telling you about my awesome day yesterday (I promise I'll do that tomorrow). I decided to do a little show and tell about some of the things that I have been talking about and not showing. The first photo I took from inside the train of the bandra stop. I have been completely loving using public transit. It's cheap and often faster, and once you really master it, it's just an incredible feeling of really knowing the city. I slap on my headphones, put on a playlist of Hindi jams and indie favorites, and squeeze myself between colorful sari-d women in the ladies car. 

Bandra has been featured in my blog before because it's one of my favorite neighborhoods. There are cool bars, restaurants and shopping. It's a low key cool place to walk and hang, and where you can find me most of the time.

The second photo is a common sight. Women (and a lot of men too) really like their colored contacts. In the swanky but not super swanky neighborhoods you see a lot of slightly alien looking green and blue eyes on otherwise super beautiful Indian babes. Who knows. Anyhow, this color obviously stood out to me. 

The third photo is kind of cheating because it's part of my day yesterday. Can you guess what it is? Strawberry creme! I was in the neighborhood, so I got another one! Still love it! (alright, it was a 15 minute walk, and I had to drag four people there by insisting it was just around the corner, but hey, if you burn the calories with the walk to and from it's like you didn't eat it at all right?).

So now you know a little more about what I see on a normal day.

Love,
Violet
