There are 2 types of mango- ones that are sucked from top, and those that need to be sliced and eaten. Both kinds offer
their own joys and ecstasies.
Never had the Sindhri, but Langra mango (Indian or Pakistani, it hardly matters) is delicious. I live in Lucknow, in the Dasehari mango heartland, and mangoes of this region- langra, Dasehari, Safeda, Chausa- are pretty unbelievable.

This is a kashmiri rug from India. It is called namda- felted wool adorned with aari embroidery. It is beautiful and easily available in India. To top it, it is not very expensive either (at least in India it isn't). Perhaps you can buy it online from fabindia.

It's gorgeous. A great idea for small apartments with side balconies (I don't know about US but in India, apartment dwellers often use aluminum walls and windows to carve out extra living space from balconies)

Nice spice storage ideas. But as an Indian looking at the masala dabba (Hindi word for spice box ), i must say that we never keep red chilli powder alongside whole cardamoms. As even one speck of chilli powder can spoil cardamon that's often used liberally in Indian sweets dishes.
Actually speaking, this kind of masala dabba is used to keep red chilli powder, coriander seed poweder, turmeric, garam masala and cumin seeds- basic spices for making vergetables/dhal indian style.
