Everyday Moments (#SOL-2022)

27-12-2022

The new year is round the corner. It seems just the other day that this year started. I remember a cousin saying that we are lucky when we say time is flying because there are so many who do not know what to with their time. 😊

Last week we went to the hospital for a check-up. Everything is fine. Though for me the cholesterol is slightly higher. For more than a month I was having a different sensation in my soles. I did not think too much about it. On the 23^rd I went to the neurology department. I had to wait quite some time for my turn. I finished a book which I had started earlier. I saw many big words in some posters in the waiting place, I made a number of smaller words 😊. We used to play word-building long back. It was fun. The problem is minor and I have been given medicine for two months. Earlier when I was entering my name in the registration place, I forget my purse, the girl standing behind me called to me as I was going away. That was something to smile about 😊.

Stairs to the pond

On the 22^nd we attended the 50^th wedding anniversary of my husband’s teacher. He was also our children’s’ teacher. His daughter was my husband’s student. The function was held in a temple. It is in a valley, a serene place.  I always like looking at the temple ponds. The water is very calm but the wall on one side needs a little repair. One evening we attended a Pooja in my friend’s home. But we stayed for less than an hour. We always try to reach home before it is dark. Both of us are not very comfortable driving after it is dark.

Sunday morning, we went out for breakfast. It was a nice change 😊. In the evening we had visitors after a long time. We all enjoyed talking to each other. The publishers of my husband’s book had given us some free books. We posted them to some close relatives. Monday morning, we went to our town centre to do some shopping. This is a holiday season. We see a lot of pilgrims coming to the ancient temple of Lord Krishna. Today afternoon I went to Asare. The small boy has been taken back home by his father. Hope he is looked after well there. He was sadly neglected when he first came. He had improved in many ways.

I am listening to The Three Musketeers in Librivox and enjoying it very much. And I listen every day on YouTube to a lecture on Bhagavata Purana by the great Sanskrit scholar, Bannanje Govindacharya.
