Mani got an article in Dresdens local Newspaper. He did give his interview at the beginning of June, before he left back to India. Today it was published. You can read it all here:
After the big wedding, the Gecko-Cafe returned to normal business. It is open and welcomes every guest in its special way with nice atmosphere, friendly waiters and delicious food. And if you are lucky, the new family-member Ammu serves her great Indian breakfast, Dosas and Dhal to you.
We did have a big South-Indean Wedding! Manis brother Uma got married on July 1st. The Gecko-Cafe was nicely decorated and looked festive. The shady entrance was incredibly inviting, unfortunatly it cannot stay forever, because the street is to small and big cars got much trouble passing by.
In the entrance there were ceremonies before the wedding every morning and evening.
They young couple looked most beautiful at the typical south-indean wedding and now the young lady belongs to the "gecko-cafe-family".
Here at YouTube you can also find the MOVIE with Mani on the Gecko Cafe, which was made by Daniel Dietz, a new friend of the Gecko Cafe. Enjoy watching.
Das Gecko hat ein neues Dach bekommen! Nun ist es etwas höher und der Innenraum wieder in aller Gemütlichkeit eingerichtet.The Gecko has got a new roof! Now it is higher and the inside of the place came back in its full beauty.
From April 28th til June 6th Mani did visit his friends in Dresden, Germany. He went to see Berlin, the Baltic Sea and also Prague, and mostly all the beautiful suroundings of Dresden.
