Observations from an American family living in India. Friday, May 18, 2012. Audrey in the Studio. Audrey had her first big gig as a voice-over artist this afternoon. She recorded several takes for the introductory and concluding narration of our short documentary, "Champa Mera Sathi.". Her voice will be a part of the North American version of the film. Audrey got to record in the sound-proof studio, and work with the sound team at Mahatta Media Studios:. I blog here about my soon-to-be India adventure:.

Swimming in India: May 2012
http://swimming-in-india.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Observations from an American family living in India. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Audrey and Lesa had a great last riding lesson this past Sunday morning at the Delhi Riding Club. Although it was hot and dusty, the "sir" gave them both extra pointers for riding with one hand and gave them each a few extra laps of cantering. It was a such a pleasant morning to cap off the last two years of riding lessons in that quiet grove of trees behind the huge, 18th Century Safdarjung tomb. Friday, May 18, 2012. Travel t...

Swimming in India: September 2011
http://swimming-in-india.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Observations from an American family living in India. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. For some reason that morning we wound up on a rooftop five stories above the street level. We wanted a "bird's-eye" view and quickly found one above the spice market district in Chandni Chowk. Our eyes first drifted to the horizon. The massive Jama Masjid Mosque could be seen through the haze in the distance. It's very impressive and draws crowds of pilgrims from all across India (and the world) each day. The baker was v...

Observations from an American family living in India. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. The Beatles went there for spiritual enlightenment. why not the Sayer family? Rishikesh is famous for Hindu Sadus wearing saffron colored robes and its many ghats and temples lining the edge of the holy river Ganga. The town's narrow alleys are full of the smells of incense and cow manure. This part of the Ganga (Ganges) river passes through the state of Uttarakhand. Our outfitters provided all of the equipment, meals and loca...

Swimming in India: February 2011
http://swimming-in-india.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Observations from an American family living in India. Monday, February 28, 2011. Lesa and I walked down to our local market on Sunday afternoon only to stumble across what seemed to be an impromptu classic car show. The vehicles were an odd assortment of cars including an old English "Hillman," (see the picture above). I had never heard of this manufacturer before. The gathering also included an odd assortment of classic motor cycles including this pristine Norton,. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Is essent...

Swimming in India: March 2011
http://swimming-in-india.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Observations from an American family living in India. Sunday, March 20, 2011. We started celebrating Holi a little early this year - at the kids' school last weekend. It was a beautiful, sunny day filled with kite flying, tug-of-war, food, and of course colors. Holi is the Hindu spring festival of colors - a fun celebration of the start of the warm season. It's a day to share in joy and laughter with your family and neighbors. Throw in a mix of dried colors (of course we used all natural, herbal varietie...

Observations from an American family living in India. Monday, November 21, 2011. The grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. They are largely a product of the Indian Army. Because we weren't VIPs we didn't get a chance to see the inside of the clubhouse. But we did get to sit in very nice, covered seating. The crowd included quite a collection of expats, wealthy socialites and Delhi personalities. Monday, November 14, 2011. This was our second trip out to. Although we were not really that far from th...

Swimming in India: October 2011

Observations from an American family living in India. Thursday, October 20, 2011. Okay, We've been living in India for nearly three years. and buying milk here all of that time. For the first few months we were nervous about almost everything, so when it came to milk we bought the safest alternative - milk in a processed box with a shelf-life of 12 months. But milk in this form is about three times the cost of local milk and it really doesn't taste very good. Photo credit: C. Hildreth. The "camp" was in ...
