Yesterday, tried so hard to get my I-T interested animals to learn some more about Internet, but they were just not in the Mood. Most upset with me, and just not paying attention coz I hadn’t given them their breakfast of goodies for 2 whole days!!! Sacrilege, I say!!!! Have to just pamper them to get their attention back & make them the Hi Tech Savvy animals, before I leave!! J
Evening was spent with Dion & her son, Ryan . Most adorable, boisterous , full of energy, 2 year old… who wants to speak two to a dozen & by the time we left, had shown us all his toys !!!! Not a minute of Boredom with him around ….. that’s for sure!!!
Today, took off to Camden Town to meet Ashaji’s niece Priya. Was disappointing not to meet the kids, who were off camping for the day & more so for Sabrina, coz she sure was looking forward to meeting them!!! However, it was an interesting afternoon that we spent with her. A take on the Indians who are still in a time warp & are living in the early Nineties. And sure was nice to know, the culture of the Who is Who , is very much prevalent in schools here too. If you are in a private school, the teachers have to be careful what they say , to who they say, coz , one of the kids could be related to a Minister , Royal family or some big shot somewhere!!! Which is why, Priya quit her job with a semi private school & moved to the State school…. Like she said … more challenging it is to make sure these kids deliver with their back ground & the fact that private school kids have very little choice of not delivering!!
We planned to go and have a Cuppa Tea with Muffins with Paul McCartney, who lives down the road from her, but then , we were short of time, had to take Sabrina to Camden Market. So, we cancelled that plan …. Aab kya karen, Paul saheb ke kismet main hi nahin hai humse milna, toh main kya karun ….. Sikander ne Porus, se ki thi ladhai, jo ki thi ladhai , toh main kya karun ….. sing along people … as long as the beats make your feet tap & you can hum along!!!!! ;-)
Walked along the Canal from Priya’s towards Camden Lock. A lovely walk, with just the perfect drizzle ,where the canal was lined by boats and in some ways .. London’s version of Venice!!!!!!!!!!
Camden Lock, a part of the very vibrant & hip, Camden Market. Bahut hi sahi jagaha hai …. An interesting array of the most outlandish shops. I can happily spend another day there. A mix of our fashion street kind of stuff to psychedelic shops, funky punky stuff, simple, exquisite, creative, multi cultural, food court ….. a place that one has to visit for themselves to really enjoy the diversity of this market place. All in all, an eye opener of sorts to some of the interesting stuff I hadn’t seen, or hadn’t seen for a long time!!!!
Evening ends with Fish Fry & Bapi M’s exotic, Pinacolada … majorly spiked for Us & the Sadhu version for Mom, Sabrina & Fenu!!!! Cheeeeeersssss !!!
Highlights…. For starters was the Nutella Crepe , ummmmmm …. Inder, if you were here, I know for sure you would have eaten atleast a dozen!!!!
And secondly, the psychedelic clothes & accessories at Cyberdog …. Shockingly delightful!!!
