Reflections on 2013
A good year, a bad year.
Good year ... a lovely family get together in Delhi in March, Neha got married, A and D flew down for the wedding.
Mixed emotions ... we had Papa's barsi just before the wedding celebrations started. Had it really been a year already?
Bad year ... another loss, Anni chachi, in a most unexpected way, a brain haemorrhage. The last three years have taken their toll.
A didn't come back for summer. Moved to Mumbai in August, stayed there barely a day and flew with D to NY.
Attended the family memorial service in Houston. I think Anni chachi would have been happy to see the family together. A good way to remember her.
Stayed with A in her tiny NY apartment, saw the way both kids are working hard ... God bless them.
Flew back to Mumbai, and started the painful settling in process all over again ... easier this time because it is a familiar country, a familiar language ... India is home after all. But twenty years have brought so many changes.
And we start again ... life comes almost full circle. We moved to Mumbai as newly weds with no kids ... twenty years later we return as a much married couple with both kids having flown the nest. And we find a place to live barely two kilometers from our first home. Full circle indeed.
