Been digging around, found some more pictures taken over last Christmas + New year in Delhi.
And here they are, my sisters & my cousins on New Years day, Green Park.
Bought several bottles of cheap wine, and found out later that we didn't have a corkscrew. It was already too late and all the stores were closed. So Biteii finally put her brains to use for the second time in her life (she had to..there were lives at stake, people dying of thirst around her, her own flesh and blood, and bottles of wine and only a stubborn cork stopping them from getting to it!!) and came up with the fantastic idea of drilling through the cork with the end of a kitchen knife...
And voila!
After several hours of sweat and labor, we mananged to get to the liquid inside the bottle!
Lives were saved that night!
Cheers!
Happy with our success, here we are raising a toast..
You can't see it but the wine had many tiny pieces of cork floating around in it but someone (I don't remember who) remembered that she had read somewhere that cork, if ingested, makes one's skin glow :-). We saved ourselves the trouble of cooking the pork in the fridge which was supposed to be dinner and all just ended up having lots of cork and wine!
