8. She looks amazingly like my stepson did at that age

especially the expression!

But since I don't have any pictures to post I guess y'all will just have to take my word for it! :)

11. Don't tell the little blue-eyed babies I said this, but

nothing is cuter on human kids than huge big, brown dark eyes, IMO.

Beautiful child.

[DarkTirade]

5. Aww, look at the cute little tortoise.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. we have had him for almost 20 years now

[DarkTirade]

7. If you ever want a pet that you can pass on to your kids and/or grandkids...

then get a tortoise. :)

[Blue_Tires]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. Has Kolkata changed much in the last twenty, thirty years?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. yes. lots more people/highways/over passes. the new howrah bridge

which is about 15 years old. lots more clubs/restaurants.

same chaos though

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. she says she did

[FedUpWithIt All]

21. LOL I saw the pic of Lisa in front of the Victoria Memorial and read the caption below it.

I thought you were saying that the Victoria Memorial was your grandmother's home.

I really need to get some sleep.

The photos are lovely. It looks like the two of you had a nice time.

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I WANT A PET ELEPHANT!!!

:bounce:



Love the old British building. And the old Simca taxis. :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. they are called ambassadors

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Wow. How pretty. I didn't know your father lived in India

The wedding pics are beautiful as well. The saris (?) are spectacular.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. yup, my dad and my stepmom are in india. my mom and stepfather are here.

the gold sari i wore weighed a tonne. :)

and thank you.

[mdmc]

27. thanks for the pics and a request from mdmc

If you get a chance, could you look through your photos and post some more pics of the clothing that you saw over there. I bookmarked the wedding pics you posted and would love to see more.

I (oddly enough) love fashion. I am a big missoni fan and I find the Hindu influenced styles to be the future of the counter culture fashion movement (currently stuck with skate/hip-hop hybrid steez)...

Thanks in advance for your consideration...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. you mean aside from saris? or just pics of more saris?

[mdmc]

30. Well... If you have the time and don't mind

I would love to see more (all?) the photos that contain images of the clothing that was being worn during your visit.

Of course I love the formal event pics. More of them would be great.

But I would also be interested in any pics of people wearing clothing.. on the streets, chillin, at the wedding...

The clothing is authentic and inspiring. Your pics are unique and unfiltered.

Anything you can post that can help me with my fashion designs would be cool and the gang.

Thanks in advance,
mdmc

29. I've always wanted to go to India.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Do NOT stop posting pictures, pri!

I love seeing pictures of places I've not been, especially when the person posting them has a personal tie to the place.

Thanks so much; I really am enjoying all your pics!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. i will post some later for mdmc who is interested in the fashion

and for you as well :)

[SeattleGirl]
