I know this post is a bit unexpected and it is kinda coming out of the blue, but I hav’ta say goodbye. I have really enjoyed blogging and learnt a lot through it!
Recently there has been a lot of change in my life, I am starting some new things that are going to take up […]

The drive home was fairly relaxing, I slept in the back seat most of the time while mom and dad took turns driving. Stop for lunch at a restaurant with a funny sign! (”Please don’t do drugs”). Well this particular town where we stopped has a big Ashram, and drugs are quite related to worship […]
Can you imagine having mutton, chicken and fish for breakfast at 7:00 in the morning? I did, and it’s definitely not the usual.
Took about a four hour drive to a small village. Stopped at a small orphanage/shelter home for women. The same people are also running a school for about 600 children so we went […]
Drove down to Pondicherry (it’s another state/province in India and formerly a French territory) from Chennai, after breakfast. The road was really good and we could actually drive comfortably at a 100 km per hour (a rarity on Indian roads). The scenery was also worth seeing, collectively making it a very pleasant drive.
We arrived […]
We planned to leave at 4:00 am, but somehow that didn’t materialize and we left more around six-thirty. The first two hundred Kilom’s were pretty uneventful, I think I slept through most of it in the back seat. But soon enuf the car started acting up and we had to stop and a couple places […]

Spent most of Sunday morning […]
The most amazing thing about India…is that you can never generalize. Amazingly there is very peaceful coexistence and understanding amidst unbelievable diversity.
It was neighbour’s sixtieth Birthday party, a very new experience for me. This party wasn’t designed to be fun (although I thought it was quite fun!) The purpose is to invoke the blessings of […]
Been home for a week. No more Jet lag… Been just spending time with the kids and reading lotsa Word.
The last five months all the 12-16 year olds have been part of a competition to see who could get the highest number of Activated subscriptions. I have been taking the teens out occasionally, and following […]
I’m leaving Canada in a few days. It all seems to have gone so fast, but at the same time its seems like it’s been ages. I know that doesn’t seem to make sense but it does to me. I’ve learned so much, changed so much (I hope for the better). Its funny how important […]
