20th November 2010 - Lost in translation

We were invited to join the Haldi celebrations of one of our friends who is due to get married on Monday. The wedding celebrations start 3 days before the wedding. The bride to be sits down and all guests take turns to take a paste made of Turmeric, water and flour and smear her with it from foot to head. Three days after the wedding they do it all again only this time it is from head to foot, sybolic of removing the Haldi. Not too sure what Haldi actually is but I will try and find out!

On the way over to join the celebrations, we passed a resturant called 'On Toes'.
