Hey there.. ;)
Decided not to take it for too long to share this :)
Couple of days ago we were on our way out of the neighborhood, when suddenly my host was stopped and asked to join the upcoming party - our neighbor became a Grandfather, so they are throwing a celebration for this! (it is a tradition, every new family member gets this fest ;) ). And then I got to know that I am invited too.. because it works like this: one gets invited, and everyone, who is with that person, is invited too :)
After this official invite :) the day has come and we went to congratulate our neighbors :)
Meet the place ;) and try to get what I mean..:
This is the entrance! Note, couple of guards at the gate!.., red carpet and few photographers by the entrance...
This is the lounge for new-born-child's attention!.. Women gather there with their children, eat.., talk, give presents, sit by the new baby..
I wonder how his 'sweet 16' will go by :)
Isn't it child's paradise?
staff, I think there were around 50 people of staff only.. (caterers, cooks, waiters, trash collectors, photographers, guards, servants.. etc...
Some unfamiliar food...
It is a leave with spices, one should eat it all...
Vegetable table :) (mansion)
The area..
My favorite!! - nan! :) a bread, very very tasty!!!
Roti/chappati.. and the cooks
Dhal! (soup)
Only for children..
This one is very good! - spinach with some sauce!!! aaa - yammy!
This is a little stall for yoghurt and some doughnuts..(tasteless), but here are all you need - salt, pepper, chilli! to make it taste good :) (did not really like it..)
This is kinda nut-type of dry dressing for the salad.. (goody)
This must be some sweet, which I did not try.. :S was full already...
Salad table
This is very traditional dish.. one can find it everywhere in the streets, I wrote before.. it is to be broken from the top and filled with some stuff.. this time it was potatoe with something else.. (I was happy not to try!, to be honest)
I must be expecting new FB-friends very soon!!!! These were my stalkers of the evening :)
Baby gifts ;)

Ice cream wagon!!!
This is a sweet.. also served in a leave (tried - and learned a lesson.. ;) )
It was a good experience to see it happening.. Well the whole celebration is a dinner, actually.. The hosts are greeting people by the gates.. everything is pretty much pimped up with all you see! All relatives, friends, neighbors come to congratulate you.. and eat the food! chat and have little fun.. I got an impression that people tend to stay for a hour and leave.. Maybe it is the way it is done..
Sleep tight, Tigers!!
