 Today was a good day and it has not yet ended but I thought I should write things down every single day. It really helps the goodness of time distill and percolate in one's life. 1. Papa is well and I spoke to him today. 2. Despite deep reservations, we finished some work on time today. That gave me a breather. 3. Tried out a Starbucks in the Red Chillies building today. It was really nice! 4. Cook did not come today but the other cleaning lady made nice pulao for me. 5. Got through the day today.

There was water, electricity, food, money to do a few repairs and buy some groceries considering it's the end of the month. 3. Had a call and closed it for the night. 4. Read a book through the night - it's a short book called 'The Psalm of the Wild Built' by Becky Chambers. It's a story of what happens when a monk and a robot travel together. 5. The wifi was dodgy but we did get through the workday. 6. July is over. 7 months of 2024 are through. It does feel as if a task has been completed.
