Congrats, chief. The whirlwind it is to read all this must pale in comparison to actually living it... savor it and keep posting.

Bookmarking with an old Indian receipt (one of a triplicate set of course, the others having been lost in bureaucracy long ago!)

No, of course you'll get to wear a sari. But you'll be the only one, haaa haaa. No, dem kristjans wear saris too. and this winter? i don't think so. late spring/summer at the earliest.

thank you all for well wishes. it's gonna be a bumpy ride every now and then, but then again, comfort is boring.

Do I get to utter a layer of qualms? Well, hell, I do anyway.

Be that as it may, I wish you to overcome my qualms in live.

I managed to upload anothter snippet up. Slowly but surely I'll be adding stuff. Here is a young girl dancing for us on Independence Day in one of the Hinu-Muslim community centers of Hyderabad. Dance and music are taken from a movie...Kaho Na Pyar Hai... I think.

There you go. And here's a Naga folk song, usually sang to children. The ending of it had many of us literally leaping out of our chairs.
Nagaland, just so you know, is one of the Northeastern states, with a very distinct culture that has little to do with the rest of India.

Ok, and the last one for today. This is from our morningly interfaith devotion. Tanzanian way to pray.
I hope pentecoastals can sing and dance at least this well...

Dutch Pentecostals are rather dour, I'm afraid, even a little creepy (to my sensitivities). I have a cousin who turned Pentecostal and married a man she met in church, got two children now - the rest of the family just kind of tries to avoid them as much as possible. Hope they're (very) different in India..

not in the least. they're all about mirracles, revelations, the whole schpiel... i'll have to fight them off with a stick not to drag me into a river to baptize me. hopefully mine truly will defend me and not laugh from the bank. he'd be dead as soon as i'd break free from his father the pastor's grip.

I know, Dag, and your relationship sounds great to me. The qualms are about the accompanying hazzerai (sp?) with family, which you two can deal with, let's assume. Just hoping you talk all that out somewhere before the day.

In the meantime, I'm very delighted for you and V.
