I will see you sometime...somewhere else. I hope its a better place. Love and peace. http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/comments?id=151 http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/archive/150.html Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:35:29 GMT There is so much beauty in my every waking (guess who wakes me up and how!!!) that I feel the urge to stop for a while and quit cribbing. With each new step Aryan learns to take, I feel like I learn something new. As I watch him and study his expressions each time he learns something new - I forget how miserable I am. How menial my job feels. How tiring the long commute to work is. ANd I suddenly feel awe for the most basic acts I perform. Side by side, for an hour or so - cos thats all the time work permits, we learn to fit blocks to blocks and circles to circles. We discover how amazing...

So here's a quick update for you guys. Ssssh! Don't tell anyone - but I've actually been having a good time! I mean Ma's much better now and Papa's retired and with her always - so I took off. Finally. With no great disaster. I'm back from a lovely vacation up north. Just 15 days. But an incredible experience. I made no plans this time. Just let things happen on their own. Basically I just wanted to make it to MoonDust - a 4 day psymusic fest outside Jaipur. In the middle of the desert. In an...

In effect from today, 26th October! (Note -there's an ad for shadi.com on this page with a glowy-smily chickie for effect -real subtle) The Domestic Violence Act 2005...

Looks like she's got another couple of days in the ICU and then she's released to the general ward!! http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/comments?id=146 http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/archive/145.html Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:14:06 GMT I'm raging mad. Here in our beloved country, producers just do not understand the concept of after sales services or sevices of any kind. Period. We have been trying to get the IFB guys to come and take a look at the washing machine since sunday - but what do we get - people hanging up on us, excuses and put offs. We explain. And reexplian - there's a baby that won't stop peeing cos of the rain and who needs clean nappies and undies. We are not home post 4 pm cos we are in the hospital. We have been loyal customers since we came to India- thats er, since 1993 - last century. And everytime...

I went north, but I had to come back to Mumbai in 5 days cos my mum is ill. She got 2 kinds of malaria which have lead to multiple-organ failures of sorts. After shifting hospitals and over a week in the ICU at Leelavati - my mum is now on the ventilator and is sedated - passed out. We're all rather caught up with all of this. I'll be back once my mum comes home. See you all then. http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/comments?id=144 http://variedversions.blogdrive.com/archive/143.html Tue, 18 Jul 2006 15:29:18 GMT Can't access blogger. Feeling dizzy and lifeless. No Thorn-tree, no Again, no Robert, no Nemo, no Brian. I can't reach my friends. The government has really fucked up this time. This is ridiculous. Whether Blogger has been blocked accidently or deliberately, I can't care less - all I know is that I can't reach you guys, I can't read you guys -and that just won't do. Waaaaah. I know I should be happy blogdrive is alright- but whats the use. What's the use!! Lemme just go see what the other have to say about this. The ones who haven't been blocked - accidently or deliberately. Bloody shit....

When we have days like this Tueday, I get very emotional - my need to bond with my community increases - cos I guess I want to know what is going on in their head. And it made me so sad. So very sad. I'm just going to sum up some of the things I've read post - 7/11 (I hate this 7/11 title). I'm rather disturbed by the direction that many posts and comments were headed in. And the forwards in my inbox!!! Save us!!! The now famous letter from Mumbaikars and some of the articles being passed around disguised as words of...
