My dear Hindu friends, do you think I should enroll in this class? Do you think it will stop the many questions I ask you at every opportunity? Had I taken this class before Priya's wedding, do you think I would still have needed the instruction manual which was provided prior to the ceremony?
When Kimber and I spent a week in London celebrating Priya's wedding, we were immersed in the Hindu culture from dawn until dusk (and late into the night!). That's how to learn about people: live with them, dress like them (I LOVE wearing a sari), eat like them, dance with them!
Before enrolling in Hindi 101, I need to know if every class begins with a cup of chai tea and if we will learn how to make all the goodies Kimber and I had while staying with Massi (a Hindu word which means "my mother's sister"). If both of the answers were in the affirmative, I'd enroll in a moment and so would Kimber.
And she lives in Atlanta!
Miss you, my friends in London and my lovely daughter in Australia.
Namaste.
If you care, here's the link to the blog we wrote while in London at Priya's wedding.
