Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were shooting their new movie, "My Name is Khan", for two days only two blocks from my place in Nob Hill, San Francisco (Pacific/Mason)...talk about a small world!

So, I was walking up the street yesterday from work minding my own business and I turn to my left and who do I see??? Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, chilling at the local tapas place about two blocks from my house on Pacific and Mason in Nob Hill, now turned into the "Karma Cafe"!!  They are apparently in SF for a few months shooting for a new movie, "My Name is Khan". They were shooting there again today....I couldn't get any better pics of the stars as they were being strict about taking pics. Shah Rukh is the guy chilling under the umbrella (he had a guy holding an umbrella for him between takes). I was hoping to see a dance sequence, but didn't get too unfortunately. There was a crowd of about fifty people, apparently people have been following him around the city. I have to say, Kajol was very in pretty person!

UPDATE: My friend, who was also there yesterday, got some much better close up shots of SRK aka King Khan....here they are:

Some pics from my trip to the Jain Center of Northern California in Milpitas CA - It's a serene and peaceful place to visit - there's something about visiting places of worship that brings out positive energy in a person.

Beautiful peppers at the Embarcadero farmers market

They look soooo tasty! One is called chocolate!

Update: My friend had the purple and the chocolate bell peppers and apparently the purple one wasn't so good, but the chocolate was super tasty.

Random Statue in the Embarcardero

I can't figure out if I like this piece or not... Maybe a little too abstract for my taste
