happy birthday sooji!

on march 28th Sooji and I celebrated her birthday. I tried to make it an eventful day, not easy as each day seems to be filled with surprises. we had a most memorable meal at a 'special village' called Choki Dhani. it's a neo-Rajasthani village filled with delicious Rajisthani thali, a plate of multiple dishes combining vegetables and sauces I could not even begin to describe. we indulged in all that was presented to us. to complete the night, as in any proper Indian celebration, we rode on a camel and adorned our bodies with henna.
