My dear
Long time… and I hope you received my last mail!
I had yet another SSL Team-Building camp at Khandala a couple of weekends back…
I came back exhausted, very sleepy and glad when it was over because it was over! Despite the many years of experience I have had, I still cannot dispassionately handle the stress and anxiety of being responsible for a large bunch of adolescents who think that bungee jumping is as safe as walking down Colaba Causeway doing window shopping!
Not exactly that but you get my point I am sure!
I am glad to announce that I returned very satisfied for all the wonderful that happened there and for yet another encounter with an amazing bunch of young people.
I am a little more rested and recovered now… and lots of other things have happened since then keeping me occupied and entertained..!
Life goes on…. like it always does….
Here’s a Khandala picture for you.
It is representative of sometime happenings in my life and maybe in yours too.
Picture of a buffalo in the mist near the old Xavier’s Villa at Khandala…..

Sometimes we might be like that or feel like that : buffaloes in the mist!
Big… strong… capable… confident…. but kind of all alone and not too sure about whence we have come from and whither we are going to because of the mist….

Good thing that the mist dissolves now and then and our vision about whence from and whither to makes us more assured about who we are and what we can become.
The now and then rains continue pouringly dowsing us with pleasant and inconvenient depending on whether one is indoors or not!
And the regular adolescent voices and sounds continue reminding us that there is life and vibrancy in this place.
Prayerful break for me… and I am looking forward to that…
More mist dissolution and clearer visions to you.
Love, Terry
