New Years Day in Bangalore. Once again I’m feeling inspired by Indian trucks, reminding us to conserve water in a place where every drop really does matter. I saw this on my way to a lovely lunch with friends which included a fantastic Mangalorian fried fish with fish curry. Ashwin had fun playing with the kids.

Early morning in Malleshwaram. Ashwin and I were up before light listening to Namaz, the call to prayer at 5:15 am.

Looking down on Gopal working on his patio.

A quiet morning on our terrace, enjoying the sun and flowers. My mother-in-law, Sunitha doesn’t like this plant because it has big spiky thorns, so Gopal keeps the plants on the terrace where she rarely sees them.

A nice start to 2017.
