An auspicious day, marked by the arrival at our house of this Nihangi Sikh!
He was brought to us by beautiful little Miss Daisy. She is just seven years old and is a very polite young lady who has strong English language skills.
Daisy was accompanied by dad, Kamaljeet Singh Sidhu. This is not the first unique gift delivered to us by Kamaljeet as you might remember the famous atta chicken. We see the hand of our good friend Hardeep in this gift as well.
Earlier in the day, we ventured to Sector 17, the prime shopping area in Chandigarh. We have spent very little time there, preferring to shop in the street markets and smaller neighbourhood shops.
It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas in Sector 17.
(Sounds like a good line for a song!)
Generally, the shops are high end and not for price-sensitive people. If you want to purchase a designer label, this sector is the place to go.
George finally found someone to polish his shoes. Our neighbourhood shoe man seems to be on vacation these days.
Sector 17 is a very spacious area, free of traffic and contains many, many shops.
In the evening, we were treated to a delicious home cooked dinner downstairs with Mr. and Mrs. Sodhi, our landlords.
The Sodhis were very gracious hosts. Mr. Sodhi is a retired Brigadier General.
We and the Brigadier General enjoyed a dessert of kulfi on a stick.
Mrs. Sodhi accepted the gift of flowers we offered.
Today was really the day to start packing suitcases--which we didn't do!!
Only two more sleeps so we had better get on with that tomorrow..........
