2020 Week 01 Update

It’s 2020 and we are in a new year! Hope this year has been good to you so far.

We arrived back in Singapore after a wonderful holiday and its back to the usual for us. The children, for the first time in more than 10 years didn’t wake up early to go to school. We all felt a little weird that day when we saw school children going to school, but they stayed at home.

This weekend is also super free for us since they don’t have Hindi school or tuition for the first time in years. It feels slightly strange, but it’s our new reality and one that we are getting used to.

The children are also meeting friends and catching up on what happened in the last month they were away.

I have not yet started working on my business full-time, but am starting to do so. Somehow, it seems to me that I should start on a Monday, which is tomorrow!

Have a wonderful 2020 and a great week ahead!

2019 Week 52 Update

We’re back in Singapore!

As we wind down to 2020, we have finished our Indian holiday and left Mumbai last night with a heavy heart. My parents are getting old each each and every trip becomes more difficult to say good bye.

Now I need to move from a holiday mindset and get back to a work mindset. I still have a couple of days before I can start working 100%.

Have a wonderful Sunday and see you next year!!

2019 Week 51 Update

If you are wondering how it became week 51 after week 52 last week, I went back and checked and I have made a mistake somewhere. Instead of going back a whole year to see where I made a mistake, I just changed this week’s title to reflect the current week!

We’re back in Mumbai and Bangalore has taken a heavy toll on us. Pretty much everyone is sick at home. I am nursing a bad cough (how bad? Think coughing every 30 seconds while trying to sleep). Finally gave in and saw a doctor twice this week. The first round of medicines didn’t do much but the second round is more effective, though I am feeling like a zombie!

S is back in Singapore and this is also our last week of holiday. Next week this time, we will be home and back to the routine life.

I am going to cram as much as I can this week, so see you next week. Enjoy the countdown to the new decade.

2019 Week 52 Update

Namaskara from the Silicon Valley of India, Bengaluru! We arrived here early yesterday after a hectic three days in Tamil Nadu visiting temples. It’s been a day of constant chatting, especially for my mum as she reunited with her mother and sister.

We have some family visiting planned for today and tomorrow before we fly back to Mumbai late evening!

Our India trip is slowly coming to an end and I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I am happy to go back home, to my bed and work and on the other hand, I want to stay longer with my parents. Ah well, that’s life!

Have a great Sunday and an awesome week.

2019 Week 51 Update

We’ve completed two weeks in Mumbai and have started week 3 here now.

So far, other than eating and shopping, we’ve managed to do some sightseeing also. Some of these have been places I haven’t visited at all, or not seen in decades!

This week, we go down south on a religious trip and also to meet my grandmother. It’s a trip I am really excited about.

I also realised that I have some medical issues, which cropped up when I had some blood work done and so need to show the results to my GP once I am back home. I am glad I did this so at least now I am more aware of what is happening internally.

Have a greak week people, especially since we are counting down to a new year and a new decade in a couple of weeks time!
