Evening trip to Faridabad

We live on the Faridabad side of the New Delhi-Faridabad border, so whenever we want to go anywhere in Delhi we walk 5-10min to the actual border to pick up a Delhi autorickshaw. (The system is like Boston and Cambridge taxi cabs: The Delhi taxi cabs can't pick up on the Faridabad side but the Faridabad cars can't take us into Delhi).

On Wednesday we were invited to one of our supervisor's house in Faridabad. Dr. Sunaina is young, unmarried, and as is standard with Indian families, still lives with her parents. Her mother made us some tasty treats and we had lychee juice. The autorickshaws in Faridabad are a little larger than those in Delhi but can magically fit 3x as many people - here we are with 12 people in one autorickshaw: From left to right Dr. Sunaina, Sony, and Yamilee.
