Yesterday, I had lunch with a new friend who just arrived at the embassy. She and her husband's story is quite similar to Stewart's and mine. They met in February and got married in November so that she would be able to come to India with him. She's a schoolteacher so she had to wait for the school year to end before coming out here. I'm so glad that Stewart and I didn't have to spend any time apart!
So Jessica and I decided to head over to Hauz Khas Village for lunch. She looked around and chose Yeti-Himalayan, a Tibetan/Nepalese restaurant. The food was quite similar to Indian but a little runnier as in the sauces weren't nearly as thick. I only managed to finish half of my lunch because it was so massive! I had the veg thali which means vegetarian combo. Basically, they choose what to serve you but it's all vegetarian. Anytime we see the word "thali" here, we know that it's a combo plate.
After lunch, we decided to walk around and see what all there was to explore. Hauz Khas Village is a very small area in the midst of Hauz Khas and not to be confused with Hauz Khas Enclave. All of this is very confusing to me. I just know that cars aren't allowed in Hauz Khas Village and where it is in location to me. I don't know where it is in location to Hauz Khas or Hauz Khas Enclave!
Anyway, Hauz Khas Village very much made me think of Diagon Alley from Harry Potter. There were little alleyways you could wander down to explore with several levels of stores. We stuck to the ground floor as there were so many stores that looked really interesting. In terms of what the stores were like, it was a combination. Some of them were very much like the shops on Magazine Street in New Orleans with modern knick knacks and funky items. Others were little dimly lit antiquities shops with antique books and maps from the 1850s. Everything seemed to fit together perfectly. It's very much a more modern area. I saw more bare shoulders here than anywhere else we've been.
We had a great time. I told Stewart all about it and we can't wait to go back and explore some more.
