And now 2021...

 My last post was in 2017. Hmmm...a lot happened after that...

A tiny stray puppy,a blob of black and white, wriggled his way into our hearts. Maya claimed him as her own and named him Zorn.

Now a gentle and dignified dog he has mellowed down fiery Tara a lot. Of course he is timid and suffers from anxiety attacks unlike the confident and sure -as-hell Tara. But they are good friends and we love them as they are.

Maya is a double MA (whew) and a therapist now while Jit is a M.Sc in Biotechnology. 

And what happened to Kaikeyi with my ‘friend’ is another story which I may tell you later!

Incidentally I staged Kaikeyi in 2019 . It was done simply and well received....

And 2020,2021 are the Covid years where a lot changed and a lot remained...

It also happened to be the years where I could not concentrate on reading anymore. My passion from Class 1. 

The book which returned me to reading was Neena Gupta’s Such Kahin Toh. Engrossing. Surprisingly. 

The Covid years...

My husband and daughter worked from home. I enjoyed that.

I missed my son who could not return home because of the pandemic. I missed him. A lot. May that soon change.

I wrote another book After Troy in January 2020 just before the world changed.

I became a super  cook because we could not order in...now I can cook almost anything and everything.

My tetul gaanch was moved from the terrace to the garden where it died but claimed me the garden.

My heart broke...but a bleeding heart vine now twines the dead tree in loving embrace...

And the plants,flowers and trees go on....

As does the world which always will...
