monday grace

1. the weather. i cannot tell you how much i have been dreading the mumbai heat. not being in hk, i missed winter this year, and now have no idea when i will get the chance again to be cold, to wear warm clothes, to snuggle up in my comforter! mumbai's idea of winter is about 18 degrees celcius, and that too generally at night, for only a few days/nights. surprisingly, this year the nights continue to be 19-20 degrees, and the days while sunny, are free from humidity, thus still bearable. i will enjoy however much of this pleasant weather is left before the heat kicks in..

2. z's book project is finally happening, and i am SO proud and happy for her. check it out: http://www.ispeakformyself.com/

3. blogs. i've started following a couple of new desi blogs lately, which are good: http://thecompulsiveconfessor.blogspot.com/

4. furniture. i am now typing this at my desk, sitting on a chair; bliss! my cute work corner is now set up next to the window, from which trees and a long winding road keep me company. we've got some other furniture made as well, so our home is no longer as bare as it once was.. sure, there's a long way to go yet, but that's okay!
