When in Rome (Or, When Moving to Mumbai)

Diego and I both were excited to decorate Luis's DOC-band. I promptly went to the craft store and bought cool, shimmery stickers. Diego, on the other hand, downloaded different pictures of Ganesha (a hindu god) and drew one (free hand) onto the DOC-band. Ganesha is worshipped as the lord of beginnings. In Mumbai, at the start of every project (big or small), Diego said that there is a Puja or ceremony which includes an offering to Ganesha. Diego thought it would be fitting to have Ganesha with Luis during this "project".

Then, a friend showed us how to write Luis in Hindi, and Diego added that as well (second photo, in green). Pretty cool, I have to say.
