Gratitude

This birthday is my first without Daddy. And so this post today, because I want these words out of my head and heart, before they overwhelm me. Dad & I have birthdays immediately following each other (the 25th & 26th.) All my birthday memories are inextricably linked with him. Him being indulgent with his firstborn. Him holding me close and sharing his cake with me as I grew. Him taking care of me and letting me crawl into his lap to say our prayers on cold mornings in our small drafty house. Him being patient with me during my crazy headed years. And always waiting for me, for our shared birthday cake. Me loving the fact that I could share my cake with him as I grew. That I could take care of him, like he did me. That I was a sterner dad to him, than he ever was to me. ...

The new table goes on for miles and miles :) Thank you mummy! From me and my broken back :)

Since my emails to you result in this We’re unable to respond to conversations that have been closed. Please note that your message has not been received by our support team. And I really need to say something to your reply closing my original issue, this is my post! Here’s my orginal text to you from within the app Amount Of Cash Paid To Driver : 500 Share Additional Details : THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT. My driver was very helpful and brought me home in rain and traffic conditions with lots of patience. He was however running low on gas and was getting slightly apprehensive. I on my own accord offered my directions to a gas station, once he dropped me off and willingly gave him Rs. 500 since he was low on cash. (I have also paid for the trip via my credit card) So if you can adjust that for me, please do. Else, I’ll just consider it my good deed for the day.

A day late, but Happy Mother’s day Mummy! Aunty L made me forget yesterday :) Better late than never though! I could not have asked God for a better mummy than you! We love you for all you are and all you do!

I recently subscribed to the The Great Courses Plus, so that I could bring myself up to speed on the Math needed to do my 12th standard exams. All these years, whenever I’ve tried to teach myself trigonometry (or other people have tried to explain it to me) it has always been an exercise in frustration, followed by the general exhortation to just mug it up. My brain sadly is not wired that way. I can and I will mug it up. But I do want to know what the first principles are, so that I have the ability to derive what I need. I need to understand. ...

God said, ‘I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend a day on a couch with a resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirts of a broken heart.’ So, God made a dog.1 ...
