Reality Bites!

We got back at 2 am on Monday morning....after 4 hours of a sick child on the last leg of a journey, it was bliss. What struck me is the vibrancy of India, with its smells and all, there is pulsing life to enjoy. I am biased, we had a ball in NZ - Home still rocks.

Despite all the years in the US and trips to other places, I am spoiled by India for its unique combination of joy, friendliness, inefficiency, corruption, humor, talent, diverse experiences in unlikely places (yes, our maid saw Madhavan - the movie star on her way to our place!) - the move to India helped me understand what people meant when they say "feeling comfortable in your skin". It is more like exulting in tanned skin....thanks to the wonderful beaches in NZ. We actually went to the one in the movie Piano....cliffs, rivulet and glorious ocean.

Day 1 involved a family haircut (one each and different ones!)....and we were in business! :-) Work is going great - Dream A Dream is moving to a new location. Can you believe we have a patron who has offered her second home in Jayanagar for a pittance in rent? No deposit. Besides the fact that admin expenses remain low (yes, for me the CFO function, that matters a whole heck of a lot!), it warms me to see the faith in our work. The new year has started off so well....thank you, God! :-D

Mumbai marathon dominates. Please help me raise my goal - every rupee/dollar/pound/euro/peso counts.

Byelamos!
