From L TO R : Parvani Pendse,Ajit Deshmukh, Jyoti, Myself, Deepa, Guru Pendse




My last post on the blog was almost two months back. Too many things have happened. Life at work and home was too busy.
We moved into our new house on 3/4/09 -Ram navami and since then myself and Jyoti were busy everyday in settling the things at our new place. Winter is in full swing as temperature is dropping down and cool wave makes me more difficult to stick to my routine schedule. Sun sets at 6.00 pm itself and then city goes to sleep very early.

During my stay in rivervale's rented home, myself and Jyoti decided to support earth hour 60 move by switching off our entire lights. Happy to be a part of it as it gave us a good feeling that we have done something which is very important for our earth.

Curbing recession is on every one's agenda and even I am not spared. Its good that crude oil prices have recently hit a six month high. This probably will carry a positive signal towards beating recession but personally I feel we need to still work hard to come back to the past glory.

Work on Hamari Library was bit slow but now its picking up. a common id on Yahoo groups is now set up for the same. Team members are actively participating to spread the message of education. "Education for all and all for education". If anyone wants to be a part of this noble programme do drop an email on hamari.library@gmail.com or leave your comment on my blog. I will let you know the further details of this project.

Laptop which was bought in Kualalumpur 7 years back was crashed last month. Then new laptop came in immediately. Its true that life without computers is almost zero. The new one is equipped with latest tech tools with whooping hard disk space of 300 GB.

A trip to Dwelling up - 150-200 km away from Perth was fantastic. Driving all the way was a good experience and train journey over there was awesome. A picture attached here.


ciao again,

Weather in Perth now showing different signs. Summer is over and we are in autumn now. Daily temperature has dropped at least by 10 degrees. Last week average day temperature was 25-28 Deg C where it was approximately 10-20 degrees in the night. This has brought a change in my daily routine.

It was five months before I and Jyoti played badminton together with our friends in KL. We were happy to play again at social club here in Perth. Awesome! We both love to play this game and used to play regularly when we were in Kuala Lumpur & Jakarta. We have decided to continue this from now onwards. I and Jyoti always try to do whatever we feel like doing as long as it is good and gives great satisfaction.

Gudi padva/Ugadhi - New year celebration per Hindu calender is celebrated in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh. For more details on Gudi Padva/Ugadhi celebrations please refer. http://www.festivalsofindia.in/gudipadwa/


Wishing you all a very happy & prosperous Gudi padva festival on 27 th March 2009.

We are still in our rented home and soon will be shifting in our own house. Hopefully in April 09.

Daylight savings in Western Australia will end by 29th March 09. This means our watch will move backwards by one hour. Which is +2.5 hours of India time and +8 hours GMT.

good day
