Day Three – of car mixups and lost boys


Having learned from the lessons of the previous day (plan in advance, don’t hang around waiting for boys, go to ATM well in advance) we set off bright and early prepared to finish off the last minute shopping for the girls, as the boys had of course finished all their shopping the day before (sherwani – check, pointy shoes – check, dupatta (scarf for sherwani) check. Over and out.
WE managed to make it to the bangle shop where everyone whipped out their pieces of saree fabric and set about co-ordinating coloured bangles to match. Cheap and cheerful, everyone got away with armfuls of bangles for around 300 rupees, to add to the general glamour and glitz for Saturday night. Patience ebbed and tempers were occasionally frayed in the sultry heat as we all waited for each other to complete examining, purchasing, packing and wrapping but generally we all remained calm.
