Eve of departure


Trivandrum, 19 December 2005, scalding hot

We're back in Trivandrum and have got seats for a flight homeward bound tomorrow. We almost didn't get them, and could have been stranded here for a while. But thanks to my cousin Bambi (Thumma's brother) and my dad, the necessary money arrived, yet again, and we were able to resolve the matter. Thumma's parents are here in Trivandrum but for some reason Thumma seems to be avoiding the subcontinent. She was happy enough to go to Bangkok a while back.

Trivandrum is scorching hot, humid, and Muha is missing the wintry chill of the Himalaya. He continues, also, to miss the exellent Gongabu doctors, who seemed to have a very efficiently working household in the nice, but trouble-erupting Katmandu. However, their food costs for the month of Ramazan appeared a little higher than average, not that we were poking our noses or looking at things we weren't supposed to.

Of course, this blog will continue after the trip, into eternity if all you nice people will contribute. Send your thoughts on anything, not just Hilath, although I hope there'll be more on him and from him.

Shaaxu is jealous that Al and Muha has a post especially dedicated for me (the "For Hilath" post I mean). I think you guys should put an exclusive for Shaaxu as well. Today she finally went on the surfing "date" with me. Finally!
