Maya & Sher in Bangalore, mostly

summer, 2000



Sher (right) with friend/co-worker at Ajit Bhawan where he worked when we met.





Sher and me in the Himalayan snow, near Simla.





Ditto.





Sher on the balcony of our Bangalore home. We have the whole second floor, except they call it the first floor here, european style. Living room is behind the balcony. Guest bedroom on the right.





Both of us on the balcony.





Goofing around with Sher's family, some of whom were visiting us.





Sher.





Sher's nephew Gorve poses with us on our bed.





Us.





Sher's neice poses with us, too.





Gorve begs Sher not to take this picture.





On the left, Sudama, our evening cook. On the right our cleaning woman's two eldest daughters. Also living on the property: a third daughter and the two parents.





Bangalore's most lovely park, Lalbagh, boasts a very english centerpiece.





It looks more impressive from here than when you actually step inside.





Sher's very good friend Yashpal came to visit us from Jodhpur.





I wasn't really supposed to sit on this bull statue, but its shiny back said that many others had before....and I couldn't resist.





Bangalore's best feature: enormous trees. Lalbagh has a some particularly enticing ones.





Mr. Poser.





And again.





There is one BIG tree....





...a really really big tree...





....well, you see what I mean. Marvelous.





Sher's previous kissing partner.





Sher.





When Maya was Sher's age....
