This is apartment that we called home for two years now and in another few days we will move to a smaller, yet more symetric 2201. We moved to it on 25th Sept, 2009 after nearly a month at Cape house. It was Khun Ann, whom we since miss, for she seemed to have left for Phuket without leaving anything to reach her, who made the nice deal for us.
Being in Ponderous mood, thought of taking stock of all that has happened while we have lived at apartment 803.
There are much gloom. I lost my mother, something I would forever find it difficult to comprehend or even share beyound the confine of my seared soul. I will always have tearful prayers that her soul find peace.
Dona's mom's health continue to deteriorate in distant Kolkata. A feisty lady but age is catching up with her. It doesnt help her that the current of life could have more flow around her.
I was promised a expat package and that promise was not kept, put us back in the turbulent swirl of the unknown and uncertain days in near future.
We didnt get to make the circle we had in Manila and it took its toll on our well being.
Felt some weariness in the bone. Wonder if it is age or the circumtances.
The world is changing rapidly and unfortunatly now there is much more gloom and chaos than previous many deacdes.
Progress is not defined by advancements in technolgies but it is in the mind of people and human race is certainly regressing. The animals in us is very much alive and more alive now.
It was okey monetarily but not to anywhere what we achieved in Manila.
Its not all gloom.
Have learnt bit more that life is all about living today and valuing what is there now. It is also about finding contentment and doing the best that can be done with the cards dealt with.
Professionally, I seem to have found my calling and have matured like never before,. I have achieved much that has given be lot of pride, satifaction and confidence that is there. I have touched several peoples lives and two of them have matured so much that it would stay with them forever.
Shrihaan too has bloomed. He is polite, more confident and a keen football player now. His awareness of the world continues to grow. He surprised me that he knows the meaning of levitation that he claimed to have picked up watching a cartoon.
We have travelled a lot. We have seen Thailand a lot. We also had a 11 day trip to Vietnam.
Read some good books as we always do.
Would have liked to pray and meditate lot more.
