My cleaning lady was upset today. Her tiny grand-daughter born earlier this month is in the hospital. What can you say in such situations? I offered some help - it felt so inadequate. But I have been praying for the little one. I have not seen her but the help says she is chubby and cute but has lost weight now because she has not been having milk. It is so strange - how one can feel attached to a child one has not seen. I think the baby will be good within the coming week.
A friend came over today. He is doing really well and it felt so good to see him. He has a little daughter too and the family has moved to Pali Hill now and we were talking about how dulcet and divine the place is. The one perfectly formed raindrop trickling down the vein of a leaf to splash on a crushed white blossom on the ground - the place just transfixes you. It is lovely and gorgeous! You can tell why so many movie starts lived (or continue to live) there. There are a lot of places that are beautiful - but that place is cinematic.
We went to Mahesh Lunch Home for lunch. I had appam and veg stew while my friend had a grilled pomfret. The sol kadi was delectable. The rest of the food was okay - not as great as the others. But we came home and we chatted for a bit over coffee. It was really good meeting him - someone I knew from college.
Did a little work and thought I would get the blog out before I went deep into some other editorial work now. Life's good! Promises to be a busy and rough week but...so be it.
