My dear<\/p>\n
Thanks for your mail.<\/p>\n
Restful\u2026 peaceful Sunday morning a few days back\u2026<\/p>\n
Lovely of you to stay with me for a while today\u2026 and catch up on little-big in-betweens of our lives<\/p>\n
Nice to connect again\u2026<\/p>\n
And there will be more connections and catching up times by otherwise mails when you adventure off to South Africa in a little while.<\/p>\n
I shared this with you already\u2026<\/p>\n
Thought you might like an inbox report!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had another episode on Friday last\u2026 got quite lost and disoriented\u2026<\/p>\n
I read my diary entry wrongly and went for a wedding of the sister of an ex-student.<\/p>\n
And I took the Western Railway \u2026got off at Matunga Road.<\/p>\n
I should have taken Central and alighted at Matunga.<\/p>\n
Kept asking directions on the way and walked all the way to the Khalsa Grounds venue (my feet are still aching with that walk).<\/p>\n
There was a wedding in a Banquet Hall there but nothing on the grounds. In fact the people there did not seem to know where the Khalsa Ground was.<\/p>\n
And I had forgotten to carry the wedding invite with me\u2026<\/p>\n
And I do not have a cellphone\u2026<\/p>\n
And I had forgotten the name of the bridal couple (I did remember the ex-student\u2019s name, though!)<\/p>\n
So I was LOST\u2026 really lost and tired!<\/p>\n
And then it struck me \u2013 the wedding was two days later – SUNDAY!<\/p>\n
I laughed at myself. This is the THIRD time I was going for a wedding on the wrong day.<\/p>\n
The first time I went one WHOLE MONTH early! (Sunday 22nd<\/sup> is the same for Feb and March in a leap year.<\/p>\n The second time I went A DAY early. And I wondered why there were no lights and decorations at the wedding venue!<\/p>\n And on Friday I went TWO days early.<\/p>\n Maybe I am not so smart and alert as I think I am.<\/p>\n But I am glad that I now know the place and how to get there this evening.<\/p>\n There are no mistakes in life. We just make choices and it is wise to learn from them.<\/p>\n Henceforth I shall always check my diary twice \u2026 for weddings, funerals and whatever else!<\/p>\n College routines continue. Dec.3rd was Founder\u2019s Day \u2013 Feast of St. Francis Xavier<\/p>\n It was also Traditional Day \u2013 so glitz and glamour and song and dance. Among other things I was caretaking bags left in my centre\u2026 and giving away band-aids and safety-pins and spare slippers to those in need. I even repaired a damaged shoe.<\/p>\n And, of course, I took a lot of pictures.<\/p>\n Otherwise academic and Fest noises keep buzzing around. Class and canteen routines roll along and life generally goes on\u2026<\/p>\n Yes, Xavier\u2019s continues to be a way of life.<\/p>\n More fun and exciting times to you\u2026<\/p>\n Take care. Stay well.<\/p>\n Lots of love,<\/p>\n Terry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" alishaR, asmitaK, boscoR, carlS, darshiS, joaquimT, johnQ, judeA, jyotsnaM, manuP, marieM, marisaD, lionelF, namitaF, naomiF, nikhitaN, niyantaP, petrinaD, prachiSha, rheaC, roshnaT, saiP, sanchiA, saradaR, sayaliN, shalmaliSur, sharonSi, sharvariJ, sohiniM, tanishaK, upneetB, vanessaV, viditaS, Music in the attachment\u2026 My dear Thanks for your mail.
