Today Nani and Kumar Mama arrived home from Madras! They didn't come til lunchtime, so we still managed breakfast on our own. Barely.
I had put the coupons for milk and curds in a bucket outside the door, copying our neighbors, and this morning opened the door to find many more packets of both than I had anticipated. Apparently I didn't understand the coupons. I braved the gas stove to boil one of the milk packets and made tea for Joanna. I didn't get a chance to make any for myself or even eat breakfast because I took so long in the shower and getting ready!
I did pack tiffin lunches for both of us though! Joanna was still asleep when I left and I read my Chetan Bhagat roadside book in the cab on the way to work. I was tired today for some reason, so less willing to be productive but it was, as usual, a fun day!
I'm getting to know people in the office well, which is nice, and am totally addicted to the amazing Bangalore coffee they bring around twice a day.
It is nice to have Nani and Kumar Mama back! The apartment feels so homey! They brought pooran poori back from Madras, a dessert that I love (kind of like sweet chapati...like lentils and sugar and then made into a flat bread). Jo and I played bananagrams while they went to 4th block to do some shopping. They came back with tons of fruit for us, and my favourite-
POMEGRANATE. It has been so long since I've eaten any and now I'm happily gorging myself on the best fruit in the world (save mangoes). We're watching Sri Lanka play New Zealand in cricket, but mostly just in anticipation for the great India-Pakistan showdown tomorrow.
Today has been pleasant and quiet, a welcome change from constant action. I feel like we're really settling in here, which is great! And soon we'll go find an adventure again.
