DAY 2: Party Time

Hey guys,
It's day two today in India and I'm over my jet lag.  I'm at Deepak Chacha's house again, hanging out with Daksh (his son) who is playing his guitar (check him out on youtube, i'll post a link soon) and their dog Tozo. 
Today is my phoopha's birthday so all of us are going to the hospital to cut cake, mom has planned everything, it should be very interesting. My aunt is doing much better, especially because my mom is planning to spend everyday with her.
It was raining today, and my god the traffic here is remarkable.  People are always finding nooks and crannies to put their car in. You have to be really patient and fearless to drive on Delhi streets.
Apart from cars there's people, auto-rickshaws or three wheelers, and even dogs and cows. I haven't seen any cats yet... they must be sleeping. 
O and over here, most of the houses do not have showers or baths, the most common way to take a 'shower' here is to use buckets. One big bucket is filled with water, while you use a smaller bucket to pour water over your body. 

Well Peace out
Kuhoo

Hey, I just came on, I'm sorry for so being late. Wow, can't believe your in India!! I wanna go to! Well, the bucket is a bit old-fashion, but think about it this way. It's a new experience :P Are you having fun? What is the environment like there? Um..I'm guessing the names are family members. That's cool though, u get to meet cousins and other relatives u don't usually see! I have family like that too.. but ur's is probably different. Pictures :)
