A drive to grand homes

Hi,

Back again. This week brought a visit to my maternal and paternal grand homes. Although the occasion was not an auspicious one but nostalgia took over after a while.

Met many relatives and cousins from the extended family. Caught up with the family 'current affairs' and recounted older times when we were able to live less formally and spend time as if we have got all of it in the world!

Humid weather reminded of how tough the weather is going on people out there who have to stay out in order to make a living or worse have to live in the open at the mercy of weather.

The best part was the 300 KM + drive up and down included. It was a first for me and much thankful that it went pretty well leaving me in good shape for the tomorrow's cricket match sponsored by some colleagues' collective effort. Good way to spend the (week and) weekend and stretch out for the coming week.

Take care!
