Compliments

We get interesting compliments here in India. People complement on my face, my hair, my earrings, my clothes, my figure, my bangles, and more. I've been told a couple times I look like a Telugu actress or like Aishwarya Rai or Sonali Bendre. I don't see that at all, but I guess I probably look more like them than Becky looks like ice cream: "So cool and sweet! Just like ice cream!" Becky also often gets told she looks simple, which she takes as a complement.

Birthday

Becky's birthday was good, I think. We had a small party (which mostly involved eating desserts), watched a Telugu movie (which everyone but us two abandoned before the intermission), and hung out together. Probably the biggest surprise was this:


Becky had been planning to steal a Mahesh poster before we went home, so she was very happy that Megan and Kelly did it for her. I don't think she was quite sure what to make of making it a sort of shrine to him, though.



His heart has "Rebecca" written on it.


They also arranged this cute little rosette for her, using a newspaper picture of her and a rosette we were given a few weeks ago and putting a sparkly crown on the picture.


Becky also had Karuna and Rama put some henna on her hands in honor of the day.
