On the 31st our daughter and grandchildren came. Gayatri, Advaith and Kavya left Frankfurt on 30th morning. They came via Dubai to Bangalore. There they had to wait for almost seven hours. After check in, they went to eat something. Gayatri was shocked to see the prices. The cost of one masala dosa was Rs 500. But people were eating something or the other!! Gayatri said they too ate something because it had been a long journey. They had to wait for almost seven hours in Bangalore.
Aravind and my husband went by taxi to Mangalore airport.
Some months ago, my husband’s nephew had made a grafting of a wild mango tree which was growing in our village. Two had survived. After the rains started we could not go to Mangalore to collect them. My husband called him whether they could come to collect the saplings. He said he would get them to his office which was on the way to the airport. It was very nice of him.
Yesterday afternoon we planted the sapling. Advaith and Kavya enjoyed themselves.
I had kept raw jackfruit arias in the freezer. Made dosas yesterday morning. On Sunday morning I made mango ice cream and got four thumbs up from our grandchildren 🥰. Yesterday evening we went to Venugopala temple.
Life is very busy now. But I could finish The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. I had almost reached the ending. It is one of the best books I have read in recent times.
