TELL ME: Have you been to India? or lived/living there? What are your thoughts on this mystifying country?
beautiful photos!! I would love to visit New Delhi someday. All the food looks so good. & awesome blog 😀
@Jahnavi – wasn't McDonalds India so good? I think it's way better than the US. I haven't yet tried Subway, it's hard to eat at the fastfoods when there are so many other great places to choose from. Lajpat Nagar is okay, I think all the markets are kinda the same, the malls are so much nicer. 🙂
@Tina – yeah, I know. It's not too often you get to see a bicycle on the road. Thanks so much for the anniversary wish.
@Kiran – yup, major changes in India, for the better!
@Mandy – don't worry, you're not alone. I'm of Indian origin and I experience a culture shock there every time I visit. It's challenging and a lot to take in, but with family, love, and good food, you're able to handle it.
@BeetleBuggy – I've never driven in India, I think I would pass out. I love the huge malls and the western culture that is now a part of India, it has a good blend of both the east and west. You're welcome! 🙂
Ah, you're making me totally home-sick now! A lot of these were regular haunts for me since I was a little girl and I totally miss them now! And I used to drive in that madness too 😛 After driving in India, driving in the US was daunting at first, especially sticking to lanes, since you can sway any which way on Indian roads LOL Things have changed a lot over the past decade or so in India, a lot of western stores and huge malls are now commonplace. You gotta love the diversity in India though the lesser developed areas really make me sad. I can't wait to go back home again! Thanks for the pics, Honey, loved them!!
Amazing photos here! Happy third anniversary, that restaurant looks pretty cool. Also, no doubt you had some fun shopping! That red velvet cake looks like it would be delicious, definitely a little more rich than the standard around here.
The mix of transportation vehicles is scary-I have not seen anyone on a bike on the road in ages! Have a wonderful day!
