Bollywood Weekend ~ ~ Shanthi

Over to Shanthi ~

OH MY GOD It's THE WEEKEND!!!!!

U will soon realise WHY? This year 24th Oct - the UN day is being celebrated as world children's day in our county. I signed up for the Indian part. I said yes, it being a special day ( My little Princess Shreya's B'day). For the first time she is not home and so I decided to celebrate it with the other kids. Theme being bollywood workshop (not decided by me :-)) It was a group of 10 teenagers assisting me to make this happen.

Friday : Had a kick off at 2.00 PM , back home at 7.00 and made salmon fry marinated in Italian dressing, Sambhar and Rice. No Pics, was too tired and as I am new to blogging, I forget to document :-).

Saturday: Started off with an early breakfast of Dosa and Sambhar.


Back to the pavilion. Per our handyman was there and so were the others in the group.





An elephant in the making



The show clock



my designer skills - the lehangas I designed for my daughter, cousins and friends.





At 6.00 PM we (our family) rushed to a dinner invite at Haakon and eli's place , together with whom we own a boat. People say that Aas ( the place I live) has Verdens Beste Himmelen - the world's most beautiful sky. Will post some spectacular sunsets as they unfold in future.



Haakon had a fresh catch and was very proud about it




Another autumn table setting, A beautiful house - I will feature it when I start serious blogging.
