Still Life 2.1

The Past Three Days


June 26 - En route to the airport, an old fort in Delhi (none of the signboards I saw had a name on them, they just said stuff to the effect of heritage site).


June 25 - Quite liked the pun in the brand name!


June 24 - I actually wanted to photograph a large green synthetic flower in the hair of the woman sitting in the row ahead of me, but I knew I'd be found out if I held the mobile camera that high, so I settled for my own accessories to be the day's subject instead.

Making A Meal Of It


That was a handvo, a Gujarati snack, that didn't work too well. It wasn't fluffy, and eating even one piece was tiresome as it was so dense, so I quartered each piece and threw them into a tomato-onion-ginger-garlic gravy to soften it up - and it serves as a one-pot meal.

I wouldn't blame you for thinking it's a freshly-extracted ulcer, though! {Gross!}
