Back in Delhi. Back to work. The next few months at work promise to be interesting. Haven’t set any specific goals for the next 5 months. Just want to enjoy things as they come. (End of Day 338)

It’s finally sinking in! Yes, we’ll be out of Delhi soon, back home, with the family. What joy! The wife has started packing our bags, but I still have a few loose ends to tie up at work. (End of Day 327)

Of the numerous experiences of His being, here’s one Ganesha story I want to share: Mehrauli Five months before I got married, I wanted to shift from PG accommodation in Janakpuri (Delhi) to 1 BHK accommodation somewhere closer to Gurgaon (for easier commute to work place).

Feeling happy

Saw a 60+ Jat lady running a mysubziwala.com outlet in Kishangarh. She gave me a card and informed that I could place an order via the website too. If you remember, I had mentioned Kishangarh is an urban village in Delhi (http://bit.ly/T7q5KH). It’s amazing to see the pace at which the people here are adopting […]

It’s that time of the year when you slowly start falling in love with the weather. Winter is almost here in Delhi, and waking up early in the morning  has never felt better. Realized a few days back that I had missed out on having Gulab Jamun, Gajar Ka Halwa, and Moong Dal Ka Halwa […]

Shifting to an urban village in Delhi was an accidental move. But I am loving every bit of this place. It’s fascinating to observe how, over the years, the life of people living in and near Mehrauli-Kishangarh has evolved. Never ceases to amaze me how the Jats living here have retained their culture even when […]

Need to book tickets for November. Will be heading back home for Diwali. The next holiday won’t come in a hurry, so have to plan this one out well. Wifey is excited. Understandably so.  She hasn’t stayed away from her family for as long a duration as she has post our marriage. (End of Day […]
