Combining Tradition & Modernity

The Indian woman has adapted wonderfully - she fulfills her traditional duties at home like cooking & morning pooja draped in her 9 yards sari and in her spare time grabs her net book to connect with her face book friends over a cup of traditional South Indian Kapi (coffee)!

    The fun begins when you refuse to confirm to the tradition or large parts of it!

    Lovely picture.

    She is dressed in Christmas colors! I thought Indians drank only tea, not coffee. Is coffee grown in India, at all? Coffee is grown in Hawaii. I love Hawaiian coffee, especially Kona.
