Indian Afternoon

A group of my girlfriends from high school and college get

together once a month to learn creative skills, study the world

around us, and to become more cultured. Last month in

anticipation for the holi festival we centered our get-together

around learning more about India. It was held in my basement

were I pulled out all mine and my moms indian decor to create

an indian world. The mood was also set by burning incense and

a full Indian buffet complete with nan, rice, chicken curry,

cucumber riatha, and mango lassies. While we ate my sister

gave us a lecture based on material she has learned through an

eastern culture class she is taking for her degree in art history.

She covered: history, religion, art, and music. We even had my

hubbie come in and share more about what he had learned in

his middle eastern class on the religion of Islam.

We then drank some herbal homemade chia tea for dessert

while we applied henna tatoos and bindis. We keep a blog

where we plan and share our activities as well as share anything

beautiful and creative that we come across. Go ahead
