Hey Everyone,
Today we celebrated Indias Independence in style. Both Emerald and I dressed up in some very fancy formal indian wear and headed down to the school for the festivities!

The day started with a ceremony ceremony in the gym which included some very good speeches, musical pieces and of course the raising of the flag! The speech given was from a lady who was the first Indian women to ski to the south pole... An amazing feat! Her husband was also there and he has summited Everest three times out of the five expeditions he has been on. Amazing people!

After the ceremony there was a fantastic banquet in the quad of the school. Loads of stalls of delicious foods and desserts where shared by everyone. I am writing this with a very very full stomach! We are currently letting our food sit while doing some housework before heading off for a walk to flag hill with some other staff members!

Excellent photos. Especially the one of all those gulaab jaamuns. Yummy. You look great in the Indian kurta pajaama and shalwaar kameez.
