Orange You Glad It's Friday, Week 114 - October 30, 2014

First of all, I must congratulate my home team San 
Francisco Giants on their great World Series win.
It was a knuckle biting seven games and, though I 
didn't actually watch them from India, I followed, almost
play by play, on internet news.

I offered prayers to almost every deity, including Lord
Ganesha, the Indian god, known as the overcomer of
obstacles.  To whichever god ( or all of them ) that 
helped my team win, thank you!!  Our city rejoices.

My "orange you glad Friday" post is of a sweet Lord
Ganesha I found at Creative Textiles in Jaipur, a store
that had wonderful fabrics and made lovely clothes 
from them.  I came home with two outfits and this 
little Ganesha.  I now have a small collection of Ganeshas.

Mellow Yellow Monday #197 - Bright Yellow Bananas - October 29, 2012

All over Jaiper, street vendor carts have all sorts of wonderful things for sale -
from brightly colored fruits, old familiar favorites to exotic kinds like the custard
apple ( also known as the bullock's heart or Buddha fruit ), guava, and star fruit.
Vegetable carts are piled high with various chilis from mild to fiery hot, luscious
tomatoes, little round eggplants diifferent from those at home, okra or bindi as 
it's known in Hindi, and many types of squashes and salad items,  In town, 
vendors spread their wares out on the busy road side, sitting next to each other
on the ground so they can pass the hours, chatting, when no customers 
are around.

I am participating in Mellow Yellow Monday, #197 -

show us your yellow and join in the fun.

Congratulations are in order to the outstanding 

I never could see a game here in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India but, thanks to Yahoo Sports, I could follow them all, play by play and it was still pretty exciting.  I won't get home till the

16th of November, after a five month stay here, but, rest assured, I will be toasting my

home team tonight with my Indian friends who are much more into cricket than baseball.

They are sweet to humor my enthusiasm, though.

Friday Flash 55 - Orange October - October 26, 2012

 

While I really do love India,

 I cannot seem to find,

One game of Giant's baseball,

And I'm about to lose my mind.

Even ESPN has failed me, 

No games live or on the news,

Even if they were Hindi,

I wouldn't have the blues.

3 weeks - I'm coming back...

Another series, Orange & Black!

Alphabe-Thursday - "F" is for Fabulous & Fantastic - October 28, 2010

Alphabe-Thursday - "F" is for Fabulous & Fantastic - October 28, 2010

Fabulous and fantastic pretty much describe our San Francisco Giants!  Needless to

say, this city by the bay celebrated big time last night as its baseball team won Game 1

of the world series.  I've never been a great baseball fan myself but, regardless, I always

support my home team and, like so many others, I sat glued to the t.v. set to watch the

opening game against the Texas Rangers.  I can just imagine how exciting it must have

been to be among the crowds at AT & T Park at Willie Mays Plaza!  Of course, there is

something to be said for being with your family at home, enjoying a dinner of Country

Captain ( an Indian chicken curry dish ) and Carmen's Caribbean Cocktails and not

having to wait in traffic to get home after the game. 

 

Our Giants did the fans proud and we are hoping for another win tonight.  We'll be right

there cheering you on.
