It’s already Sunday. The busyness of the holiday weekend wore me out … or maybe it was dressing myself up in a sari that did me in. So many safety pins make you a bit crazy.

But Ben and I started the year off right: with our health, humor, faith, compassion and a clean house intact!

With Momma Shushi in tow, we visited two temples to see each day’s annual festivities, which were boisterous and colorful just like the beginnings of a new year should be.

There was also a lot of personal styling in between — see for yourself — and Sal Mubarak.

From Cali with Love

Toward the end of the summer, Ben and I took a trip out West to visit my parents, grandma and extended family.
One thing is for certain during such visits: We are fed. Very well. With mouthwatering morsels of Indian treats.

This trip also saw us dolled up to celebrate the fifth anniversary of my cousin, Chaitali, and her husband, Eric. Being that Ben and I are suckers for love, bling and dancing, we knew we were in the right place — an Indian party!

It took us 10 months to revisit the Bay Area, but we promise that Cali will be seeing more of Benjaminal in 2010.
