Monday night at Dilli Haat (the Bazaar) I came across women doing henna, and ended up booking them to come to our apartment (quite a wonderful idea so we wouldn't have to rikshaw it back and mess up our designs). Jyoti and Rekha arrived this evening, along with their parents who chaperoned! Although I would chaperone my kids as well if they said they were going to some strange American's flat.
For over 4 hours they applied henna to our hands and feet, as we ate a dinner of veg. tikka and garlic naan (my favorite). The Dharamsala crew was in town as well, so its been a fun night of talking about our travels, volunteering, etc. as we inhale the fumes from the Tiger balm (meant to make the henna a dark color).
