Went for mass yesterday at Ghala Church. I still have to get used to weekends being on Thursday and Friday and not our traditional Saturday-Sunday. Saturday-Sunday seems so much weekendlike!
Anyway, Ghala church has been the place we have gone to for years and it is still the same as it was. Mass was good, though [...]

My dad sent me this via email and found them really cool. Here’s for maths lovers to go all oohh.. aah about…

Finally went out shopping yesterday. Dad does most of his shopping at this new supermarket called Lulu.
The location is on top of a hill and the place is so well lit up that you can see it from all around.
I was rather impressed by the entire layout and this place has about 10 checkout counters!
We [...]

Something I never ever expected to happen.
Thanks folks for making it possible.

The purpose was a Bible study at the house of one of the members of Oman Christian Federation (OCF).
We reached there late because Dad got stuck at work. The meeting lasted for about an hour after we reached and this [...]

Actually a Boeing 737.
Woke up by 3.30am (not that I got much sleep earlier) and quickly got ready to leave.
Mom insisted on coming with me to the airport (love you Mom) as I wasn’t too well. Spent a good half and hour standing in the checkin counter in a long line.
Got through immigration easily and [...]

Reached Muscat safely yesterday. The internet here is a lousy dialup and so you won’t find a lot of posts here. Gonna be composing a lot of stuff offline and will probably do some mass posting when I am back in Mumbai.
Please keep me in your prayers. My illness and the antibiotics have already gotten [...]

Went for the 8.30am mass, but headed straight home and spent the rest of the day home because of my a splitting headache.
the Li’l White Mouse came over in the evening for a while as she was in the area. Anjali paid me a visit later in the evening. Falling ill sure has its advantages [...]

I haven’t been blogging for the past few days because I have been down with the viral. Have had a fever from 100 to 102F for the past two days coupled with extreme weekness, cold, cough and headache.
Am flying off to Muscat tomorrow morning. The fever is kind of reduced thanks to the injection, but [...]
