22nd September 2010 - Ganpati Bappa

Whatever that means!

I had the day off today as the kids were also off school. Wandered into Powai and chose a birthday pressy for Max, hope he likes it. Had a KFC for lunch - weird sitting in a KFC looking out onto an Indian street scene. The guy who served us had a canine tooth in the middle of his two main top front teeth, slightly weird to look at!

In the afternoon Paul W and I tried to take the kids to the Foresters swimming pool but it was shut due to Ganpati celebrations. Paul suggested we went round to Hookey Pooky's and get some ice cream which was great for the kids. Having chosen the icecream the server drops it onto a cold slab of marble and mixes in your choice of sweets, cookies, chocolate etc before scooping it up into a tub or cone. They then make a fancy chocolate lattice on the cold slab and add this to your order. Whole process takes about 5 minutes per order so fine if you are not in a hurry!

In the evening I met up with Teri, Sharan and Jason to witness the crush at the lake as thousands of Ganesha mandals were dropped in the lake at the end of the few weeks of celebrations.
