 I slept off yesterday but wanted to write quickly about all the wonderful things that happened yesterday.

1. Had gone to meet Papa yesterday. He is well. It's always lovely to see him. His foot was not so good but he is doing okay.

2. I had also gone to visit a friend's mum who is by herself because my friend is traveling. She was also well. We watched a series on the TV - it was a Live Stream of a village somewhere in the North East where a woman cooks with farm-grown vegetables. We see her make pork and jute leaves, some yummy saag with masoor daal. She serves it on a peetal thali with bowls. Her little daughter and husband sit on the floor of their mud hut and eat. It was so wholesome - the scopping out of seeds and cucumbers, tempering of freshly picked curry leaves in deep golden mustard oil...beautiful.

3. The cab driver to Vashi had to break his fast for Ramzaan. He knew that he would be mid-way when the time to break his roza would arrive so he had stocked up. When he parked on the side of the road to eat, he gave me a bar of vanilla-filled custard cake. It was eggless. So sweet! God bless his young heart and spirit.

4. On the way returning from Vashi to Bandra, I had a small accident. It was okay. It was late but I was not hurt. That itself is okay.

5. Have a home to return to. It is clean and safe. There's water, there's space, there's clean linen, there's wi-fi, there's a gorgeous view overlooking the city. Yes - there's much to be pleased about.
