I'm here...gaaah I'm really tired, but I'm not allowed to sleep until 8 p.m. New Delhi time. We had a seventeen and a half hour flight ( I was wrong in my last post). We had this 2 or 3 hour hold in London, which just added on for hours. The time from New York to London is like 10 or 12 hours (or at least it felt like that) and then it was like a six or seven hour flight. I ended up watching two movies, Om shanti Om which was okay, not the greatest movie ( it really reminded me of a movie from the seventies!) and then Hey Baby which is basically three men and a baby. The baby was so cute and the movie was hilarious, nearly half the plane was sleeping and my mom and I were cracking up! We reached Delhi around 12:30 am and it took us one hour to come out from Baggage claim. We were picked up by Deepak Chacha ( chacha means father's younger brother, in reality Deepak chacha is actually a really good friend of my dad's.) and dropped us off to my Bua's house, where we met my cousins Sonu and Chinki ( i'll post some pics of them, maybe later..no promises). In the morning today, I met Chaiji my phoopha ( bua's husband) mom. I helped her 'peel' peas...well we didn't really peel them. But we basically took them out of the peapods...it's a really cool thing! you squesse one end of the peapod so it opens up and then you take them out!
Right now its 5:00pm and I'm at Deepak Chacha's house...with his son Daksh who is coming to America in September to study in Drexel.
Right I'm out
BYE YA

heya! Glad you made it to India alright. The plane right sounds tedious - I cannot do stuff like that; the bathrooms on planes completely freak me out. You should definitely get junkie magazines for the way back, because that's half the fun of being at an airport! ^__^
