A Quick Update!

Since I have been getting emails from a few of my readers regarding my absence here, I guess it is time for a quick update :-). 

I have been extremely busy caring for my family and dad for the past month. My dad has been ill for the past few weeks, first with Pneumonia and then followed by severe neurological pain episode that is yet to get under control. My dad suffers from a neuro condition(Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia) for the past 8yrs or so, and this is one of the biggest reasons for our sabbatical in India----to care for him. His new medicines are slowly taking effect and we are very hopeful that his pain would be under control with time. My Dad is doing a lot better now. 

DD will be writing her first part of her music exam this week and followed by her second part of the exam sometime in Nov. She is also continuing to be busy with her college and online classes. She is looking forward to her Delhi concert in Nov. And DS is wrapping up his semester work and is looking forward to his internship opportunity in the forest in Dec. 

We celebrated Deepavali with extended family and had a great time. This year kids boxed and distributed sweets and savories to many friends and families.
