Home Alone

As most of you know Leann, Ashwin and Priya are back in Boston, preparing for the new school year. Here in Chennai, I have been trying to keep busy with work and other things. The summer appears to be over with some wonderful rainfall for the past 3  days. So with this we are getting ready for all the holidays(religious and regional) which follow. Most national and regional festivals are school and work holidays. Today is Onam, a harvest festival for Kerala natives. This is a good time to visit Kerala, where they have snake boat races and of course lots of good food.
I have included some photos - Onam flower arrangement from our neighbour's flat (usually arranged near the door step, artificial flowers are strictly prohibited),my trip to Periamalai (a medical camp), Helen's birthday(Ashwin/Priya's Cousin) and my new helmet. My old one was stolen by someone who believes in safety first.

Hey Prabhu,

Like Pat said, it's great to have Leann and the kids back here--it's like they never left! Ashwin and Priya have really grown up in the past year!

Thinking of you and hoping you too will return soon. Love the picture of the flowers, I seem to remember that occasion being one of the first posts on the blog last year.

Glad you're wearing a helmet... perhaps you can influence JM across the street to wear one! (Ask Leann about this story.)
