Pictures from Down Under

Seeing that everyone wanted pictures of this trip, I have decided to indulge you guys :)


Dev's Birthday Present






Not too shabby for a day's work!











I tried keeping the portrait a secret and instead told Dev I had got him a book. Meanwhile...just a couple of minutes before this pic was taken, Sheetal's (who I stayed with) Mom says "Oh Dev! Have you seen your portrait??"

I smacked my forehead. I literally SMACKED my forehead.



Dev's Mexican Themed Birthday Party



Overall an INCREDIBLY fun night! I met the whole gang, my make-up was nice and there was plenty of booze and back massages (oops) to go around!
And in case you doubted that the theme was 'Mexican', I say to you...









EAT DIRT because there was a SOMBRERO! and ..











A GIANT MARGHARITA!

(And Sangria and Enchillada's which I didn't photograph because I was too busy consuming it in all its Mexican goodness.)

Ola! Arrriiiiba! Andale Andale Eeeba! La Cucaracha Baby!

The Boathouse Dinner

This was a dinner at a boathouse. It was a family affair- Dev's family and Sheetal's family.We had good food, good laughs, a couple of tipsy Dad's and a wardrobe malfunction (Not me..Arpu). I've said it before and I'll say it again - God Bless Safety Pins.
Ahhh all in a days work =)









This is at the dinner table...where I demonstrated my left profile with great gusto. It was obviously contagious. Look at Ravi! See how happy the left profile makes him?
Indulge.. in Your Left Profile.







The Skybombers Gig


As mentioned in the previous post, Dev's brother Ravi is in a band called....you guessed it, Skybombers!
We went for the gig, see there's the poster if you don't believe me!












That's Hugh (the lead singer) and Ravi (who plays bass guitar and does back up vocals)









That's Ravi again who decided to take it all off...well just his jacket at least.










Samson Hill Vineyard



I say screw the wine...look at the cheese platter!
That, my friends, is a magic plate of happiness (and a heart attack).
*happy sigh*










That's the vineyard..believe me when I say it was a BEAUTIFUL day...






It's sights like these that make me believe that such beauty couldn't possibly be a mere coincidence of 'being at the right place at the right time' or just the simple physics of condensing water vapour being heated up and allowing the sun's rays to sear through.

My camera rocks.




Mornington Peninsula






This place is gorgeous..











We were blackmailed into posing like this. It was totally involuntary! OH damn you Dev and your....evil...blackmail material!
*shakes a fist*









Bye bye Mornington Peninsula :(









A Party!


Sheetal's Dad was the star of the show. Not only did he keep dishing out the most heavenly Midori Illusions, he is THE pro at strawberry margharita's.

On a completeley unrelated note- there was crazy dancing, drink spillage on carpets and pool tables and furniture breakage.

The End

Is it just me, or are sunsets in Australia waaay better than the ones here?
