The Weekend of our Arrival!

You are lulled awake by the melodious orchestra of the chirpings of the variety of birds OR rudely woken up by the harsh rude and no respect for sound sleep walla crass sound of the smaller version of the Vulture in combination with the Crows too making their presence felt !!!!!! When I asked Rinnie , what this variety of Vulture were called , she thought about it & said, " Undertaker , or something as Morbid" , with a complete straight face !!!! And , I died laughing !!! J J J

The weather takes a turn & is all cloudy & cold, typical Delhi in Winters . This however does not obviate us from going out.

Its half day outing, first to the Temple & then The Village. I definitely have to spend an entire day here, to totally absorb the vibrant energy of this place , with its shopping, food, drinks, people …… just about everything !!

Now that I have seen both, The Village , Westgate & have to check the Masai Market , after that , my shopping list will be complete & buying shall start!! Yipeeee!!!

Since, our Arrival, as per Pannag's calendar was today ( 1st Aug) , there is a lunch party lined up with his friend's family, Krishna, Rashmi & Shivangi. All of Saturday late night & Sunday morning goes in Rinnie organizing Our Welcome Lunch!!

The entire day, there shall be no electricity due to some local Maintenance, and with the weather being more than cloudy , we shall all enjoy a lovely candle lit lunch!!!! Adorable!

After we have pigged out on the food & guzzled on the Beer's ,we take off to visit the quaint , Victorian style , very British , Kentmere Club. What started out as a club is today a Country Inn. A place , which is a perfect ½ hour away , weekend getaway!!! The greenery gives you an extra dose of oxygen!! J

Highlights :

Rose , Rinnie's woman Friday , sings the original versions of Hakuna Matata aka No Problem, Jambo & the sweet melodious love song, Mallaika.

Rose, makes Saturday dinner, into a complete Native Kenyan fare, by making , Githeri (Beans, Corn & Potato dish) , Matoke ( raw Banana dish) , and plain rice! Yummmmmmyyyyyy!!

.

Rashmi , completely shocked to find Rinnie's sister in law , drinking BEER , So , Not Ladylike!!!! ROFL!!!! ;-)
