After a delayed flight and a foggy taxi ride, my parents and I arrived in Meerut City around dinnertime on Dec 18. We spent the next five days there, and if you think that the religious ceremonies were over at the wedding, then guess again. First comes more listening to Sanskrit preachings…

…a wedding reception…

…kite-flying with my new sis-in-law (bhabi, for all you Hindi-speakin readers)…

..and streetside food (chaat) with my Dad.

At 1:30am on Dec 24, I flew from Delhi to Amsterdam, where my parents and I had to sit through a 8 hour stopover. Okay, no, we didn’t sit through it, we left the airport and saw the city…

Once a Metro reader, always a Metro reader…

And I’d love to tell you about our early morning Amsterdam trip, but somewhere on the staircase of the Anne Frank house my camera batteries died, and so I switched to a film camera for the rest of the shots. So I guess you’ll just have to find me in person for those :)

I arrived back in Canada on the evening of Christmas Eve.
