• On Holiday – So far it’s been ok

  

  The children’s summer holidays started on the 9th of June. Having been restricted to our homes for the last six months because of exams first, and then the lockdown, we decided to take a vacation, before the next academic year and all the madness that revolves around a High school and University year.

It’s now…let me count…from 22nd March till date…around four months since this never-ending nightmare began.

• Mumbai Diaries : 16 months ! Its’ officially Autumn!

  

  We’re having warm days here. With the delayed monsoons, the IMD (Indian Meteorological Department) states that November and December are likely to be warm.
