 Today is Gandhi Jayanti so public holiday. Hence, I am here at home instead of at LLA. Anna asked if I could come tomorrow instead and I agreed. 

Today is also the feast of the Guardian Angels. This feast was instituted 

to recognise the invisible yet constant presence of the angels God has assigned to protect, guide, and accompany each soul throughout life. 

Ashish sent his father to switch on the valve at 8 am. When I went to switch of, I found it at full throttle so I switched off even before I went to check the level of water in the sump and if the pump was on. I took a picture of the meter reading too but it didn't come out at all. 

Mr Prakash was doing puja over his vehicles. His wife was there and I smiled and wished her and she returned the greeting. Don't think our big boy was too pleased coz he snarled at her to get him the thali. 


I went at 5.30 pm and switched on the valve and then went at 6.30 but someone had already switched off the valve. So I put it on at full throttle for ten minutes.

  This blog has been in utero for so long, I cannot believe that I am  finally doing it.   Let me explain. When I was a teenager, I used to write down everything I did into my personal diaries. I'd use foolscap books for this. On their pages, I would vent my frustrations and celebrate my achievements. I got to be myself in those vitriolic expressions of my angst.  Years later, a few years into marriage, I destroyed those books. I tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to return to 'logging' my life but somehow it never really took off.  Even now, I start this blog with the feeling that I may not remember to chronicle like I used to. Anyway, I am going to try.  Wish me perseverance.  Today, 26 September 2025, I learnt something about myself. If you want, you can fool the world. A bossy neighbour tried to undermine my hard work. Initially, he tried the bullying tactics which didn't work. Then he tried to interfere. I asked him outright if he had. No, he said, wit...

  Finally spoke to Fr Francis about our family issues and he has said that the community wants that our children not be present at the table when they are eating. I've told Aaron and Daniel to stop. Kirsten's situation is more complicated so he has to go and speak separately. I've told him to do that asap. I've also told Glenn that he has to take the initiative to speak with Fr Francis.

  9.30 am Went for Mass with Aaron for his birthday. We had to go to Mapusa as Bastora church wa closed. We kept the bike at the car wash area as Aaron still hasn't got his driving licence.  I am going to call Dr Edison now as see if he can help me to get Rio rehomed on a farm. I earnestly hope he will be able to help. God willing. Don't want the poor chap to die because of his chasing bikes.  Put valve on. Took video of meter to show it's working. I wonder if Morgaonkar is putting the valve off after I put it on. Will check after half hour.  Link to video https://youtu.be/TBAdqIdNPlk?si=azifeSgIvBZd0tTC
