3 days in pictures

On Saturday, we took Ash to the opthalmologist (that's the Bubblegummer resting between his jogs outside the doctor's room) regarding his eye allergy that is part of his general allergic condition. The Audiology/speech department was close by and Ash clamoured to see Vijaya aunty, the speech therapist he had taken a fascination for in the two months when he was under her tutelage. Vijaya saw us briefly and said she was too busy on Saturdays to allocate a session for Ash; on the other days he is in school. Anyway I dont think he needs speech therapy now. He speaks quite coherently and intelligibly. Though he still gets a couple of words wrong - such as puda for kuda (umbrella).

On Sunday, after church, we (V, me and Mia) bought soil and plant saplings from a plant nursery opposite the Kilpauk cemetery. The cemetery apparently is full and cant accommodate any more dead men (and women). We also "shopped till we dropped" at Pantaloons, which is holding a sale. Ash sat at home with the maid since he didnt wake up early to go to church.

On Monday, an old, non-native colleague [in picture] who is off to the UK for higher studies, gave us a treat at the Gujarathi mandal restaurant in Chennai's Broadway. The last time I went there was a day after I joined my Chennai workplace. The rotis are just as soft and tasty. The place is more cramped than it was then.
