After 3 days without power, I am thanking God for the basics - water, light, heat, food, phone, television, good health, family.
Ooty has been badly hit by the cyclone. Landslides,fallen trees, fallen houses, flooded houses, road blocks, power and so many lines down, one dam breached, bridge broken, 38 dead.
Even our house has a minor landslide and two trees felled by strong winds. It is a shock to see this right here although we see it on tv so many times.
Ill health has been doing the rounds of our family too. Athai, Kundavi, Mama, Ravi, Aswatha. I hope people are getting better. Ravi are you okay. Athai has recovered enough to venture out of the bedroom occasionally. But has got people thinking about old age, the need to keep fit mentally and physically and be as independent as possible.
My birthday was spent getting her discharged and making arrangements at home for oxygen and home care. Lots of confusion and lots of rain. Birthday got buried somewhere. But Sindhu's message has made up for that. And the two gifts I received. kalai had to give me cash since kapu pinched the saree she brought for me.
Thanks Aunty for the wishes.
