finding rickshaw.

My sister and the rest of team Google Chicago (sans Ernie) were in Delhi last week for Sonya (their co-worker) and Rohit’s wedding. I played wedding crashers and joined them at the last minute. The first night I met up with Carolyn, a fellow fellow, and looked forward to a night out in Delhi...we settled for mocktails though, as Delhi went “dry” for the weekend due to the city elections. 1 mocktail cost Rs. 400…not sure how Carolyn survives on the stipend in Delhi.

On Friday, we (Priti, my cousin Amy, Amy’s fiancé Jesse, Kerry, Bex, Melissa, Emily, Erica, Kevin and his brother) went to the wedding. When it comes to describing “fun” experiences, I have no credibility, because I think each subsequent event is always the “greatest ever”. However, in terms of venue, amenities, decorations, food and drinks – this was the best wedding I have even been to – it was replete with elephants, authentic Indian decorations, a 3 acre venue on “farm” land, a 40 foot bar, a shot bar, delicious food, American and Bollywood (yes, Desi Girl) music, QT with the married couple and paying off the India po-po 3 times to keep the reception going until 4am (only in India?).

Highlights include: Amy vs. Priti; Jesse giving shots (10) to the innocent shot bartender (leading to his inevitable firing) ; Harry and Pam; Priti’s newest dance moves (ie jumping straight up and down w/ drink in hand); Erica, her favorite dance partner & spilled wine; Emily and “IFI”; Bathroom confessions; Bex’s search for rum; Hyderabad planning; Sibling pictures and candid shots.
