Another boring week, but with Diwali coming up, I was kept busy prepping for the festival. We made some savouries and sweets and there’s a bit more to do which I will complete today.
I met a recruitment consultant earlier in the week and even though it was not very promising, I am hopeful that something may come up from that meeting.
To all those who are celebrating the festival of lights, here’s wishing you a Happy Diwali!
Exams finished for GG also this week and we’ll start seeing her results from Monday. BB also started getting back his test marks this week and he has done worse than expected. I am so very disappointed with his results and it’s looking increasingly difficult that he may get his choice of subjects for next year! I am so very disappointed with him.
GG, on the other hand, has matured beautifully! She is so conscious of what she wants to do and goes about it with determination and dedication.
It’s the Indian festival of Diwali next week and the children are all set to enjoy it.
That’s about it from our side in terms of what happened in school this week. Have a blessed Sunday!
False Flag – Jay Tinsiano
Frank Bowen decides to change his life and travel to Goa where he meets the seemingly friendly Theo and the woman of his dreams, Maria.
In Bangkok, he is pointed in the direction of Theo’s friend – Richard – an English ex-pat with dubious connections and knowledge of the seedier side of the city. Richard gains his trust and Frank decides to take up a proposition—to take part in an anti-terrorist drill in Hong Kong.
That drill soon turns into a nightmare.
I’ve been blogging for some time now, but have never gotten nominated for an award, so when bibliofiles nominated me for the Miranda Sings award, I was quite thrilled! Thanks, bibliofiles13 for this nomination.
I’ve not yet heard about this award, but googled Miranda Sings and got to learn about this character. Seems to be an interesting show and a funny character and hopefully I will be able to catch more of this soon! Have you seen this show before? I’d love to know what you think of it.

The Pleasure Seekers – Tishani Doshi
Meet the Patel-Joneses—Babo, Sian, Mayuri, and Bean—in their little house with orange and black gates next door to the Punjab Women’s Association in Madras. Babo grew up here, but he and Sian, his cream-skinned Welsh love, met in London. Babo’s parents disapproved. And then they disapproved unless the couple moved back to Madras. So here they are. And as the twentieth century creaks and croaks its way along, Babo, Sian, and the children navigate their way through the uncharted territory of a “hybrid” family: the hustle and bustle of Babo’s relatives; the faraway phone-line crackle of Sian’s; the eternal wisdom and soft bosom of Great-Grandmother Ba; the perils of first love, lost innocence, and old age; and the big question: What do you do with the space your loved ones leave behind?
