I couldn’t shake the damn cold that seems to follow me inspite of my self medication (it usually works ). Finally decided to go to the doctor who has successully turned me into a pill popper for the next 48 hours! Lets see how well I survive this attack of the pills ……

We said goodbye to Natasha today. I have attended quite a few farewells during my time here but I’ve never seen so many people turn up. It just shows how many people’s lives she was a part of and impacted in some way or the other. She was a great sense of support to me [...]

I don’t really sleep too well in unfamiliar beds, which led to my waking up really early in the morning. This proved to be a good thing considering that there were more than a dozen people to have baths, breakfast and get ready before going for high mass. Had a scumptious breakfast of upma, bananas, [...]

The cuzzies (yet another set of us) decided to hit the city and have some fun on Saturday. My cousins, down from the States wanted to see Mumbai so Ruth got super enthu (she takes her role as tour guide very seriously) and decided that the musuem was the place to begin. While I knew [...]

It has been 7 years to the date that I lost a very dear friend. As the cliché saying goes , time has indeed dulled the pain.
The memories of the years we were friends stays alive and they never fail to bring a smile to my face as I remember all the delinquency and [...]

Slept in late but was rudely awakened by my sister and Rixon who woke me up to tell me some shocking news. Since it had been ages since Rixon has even come home, Mum insisted that he stay for breakfast. Ruth cooked up a lovely breakfast of omlette, friend tomatoes and steaming coffee. I had [...]
