Back
Thing are happening and not too. My brother’s marriage is over. It went very well. Two of my aunts came down on the occasion and it was a lot of fun. We ended up doing more traditional stuff than we planned to. I am yet to get the photographs from the firm we rented for the occasion. I will post a few photos once I get them.
On my front, again a strange apathy is setting on. Things are actually better though. With all my depression and everything, I pulled off organizing my brother’s marriage. Then I am back to work. Though one full week is yet to pass when I came to work all days of the week. Last week I had a small road accident. I was traveling by auto rickshaw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_rickshaw) and it overturned while trying to save an oncoming foolish car. Thankfully neither the driver nor I had any major injuries. My glasses broke and in the process I had many shallow cuts on my face and some more cuts and bruises on my hands and legs. I actually got off very lightly without any broken bones or glass pieces in my eyes. I actually am quite lucky.
Though R and I hardly talk except for work, he has a dementor like effect on me. : ) Anyway, I am more convinced about starting the process of adoption by end of this year. So I must act responsible and can’t think of leaving this job without another one. I am getting better at a very slow rate but getting there nevertheless.
Can you believe I read “Charlie and the chocolate factory” and Matilda only now? They are such awesome books. I am reading Chronicles of the Narnia now. Also I am planning to cook more often to feel better. Ms. Close, I just watched “Jodha-Akbar” a few days back. Remember you were planning to watch it with A. I was thinking of you then. : ) I just need to get on being happy. On the health front, apart from eating a lot of fruits and a bit of cottage cheese instead of fried snacks in the evening, nothing else is happening. Well, I am going to join the Yoga class in office as soon as my elbow wound heals.
Hope you all are doing well. Even when I am not here, I always remember you. You all are a part of life and mind and heart now. Lots of love.

Lovely to see you! Slow and steady progress is always a good thing, and it sounds like that’s exactly what you’re doing. Congratulations on your brother’s wedding, and kudos to you for organising everything. Wow!
Loved those books, too. Now I’ll have to look up that movie…

So sorry to hear of the accident and glad you are healing. You are truly amazing with how you were able to put on your brother’s wedding with all the emotional upheaval etc. going on in your own life. A.’s read all the Narnia books. I’m on a Dick Francis right now—Under Orders; I believe it’s the first one he did after the long break from writing he took after his wife died.
Onward!!!!

Oh dear. JUST what you (didn’t) need - the accident, I mean. Although there is a philosophy that says there are no accidents - just the universe giving you a (somewhat painful) nudge. Walking away from something like that tends frequently to result in reassessing your life and the direction it’s going in. If it in some way pushed you towards extricating yourself from that quick-sand you seemed to be floundering in at work, then it served a goood purpose, yes? I say good riddance to R and all those negative connections! Yay for you, Ini! Sometimes we just have to step out in faith that something better is planned for us.
Good for you!
Hugs,
