From My View

Check out these crazy caterpillars that were eating our office plants!

Diwali. Three days of non-stop fireworks, noise, sweets, holidays, celebrations. And a lot less traffic that normal.

These are the big, 4th of July type fireworks from back home that are usually set off by professionals while onlookers observe from a distance. These were set off by my neighbors in the street directly in front of my apartment building...like 50 of them every night. Yessss.

My neighbor creating a beautiful rangouli design in front of her home for Diwali.

Diwali Day Two Picture - made entirely from colored powder. She made a new picture everyday for Diwali!

Close up...Mary Poppins-esque?

Crackers AKA Fireworks in South Asia

And some more crackers...

Diwali Aftermath = our entire street covered in crackers.

Teaching some kiddos Urdu praise songs.
Making salsa with friends.
Indian Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants!

Oh my! That caterpillars are not caterpillars! Too creepy. What kind of butterfly will they turn into?

Glad to see what you are doing over there. Pictures are always good.

Colored powder artwork is awesome. Is she "painting" on the cement?

I am pretty sure that those caterpillers should be put on your eyebrows.
