the last day

Allo, salut, namaskaar, and HI from India for the last until 2013-

Whew that hits home and perhaps I will conclude this when I do get there. But for now that last day.

We had a our last great cauffe from The Sweet Chariot which I ordered in Marahti along with asking for Hindi music also in Marathi thanks to the diligent Datta. They loved it and compted our last meal.

These last days have been trying with Omaha as we both have had our own stresses. In all honesty she has done well considering she has not had enough sleep and has been with adults the entire time. Yet I am fatigued by the constant of a child and no adult time. She goes with her father for 2 weeks and I will be blowing off steam in a big way for those bits of liberty.

There are things in Omaha that go beyond my comprehension for instance when we went to her friends house, which I consider a sacred invitation. They live over and beyond a slum in a 2 room apartment, one room is the kitchen, the other has 1 bed,1 tv and 1 locker locked with all their cloths inside. Indians don't need much nor do they demand much. Omaha could have noticed the vast difference is living styles but did not, she was just thrilled to be in Mohini's home for this I find her spirit touching beyond measure. Also for her to sit still or watch the classes is not something every child would do and for this I am owing her her props. But she is forceful and ungrateful of what people can supply for her and is constant in her demanding of them. Obnoxiously kicking and hitting, licking and kissing. All done for attention but she disturbs people as they can only take so much of this and does not listen when I tell her to stop, so last night she had 3 swift reactions that did indeed provoke a response which she had to adhere by.

Life holds many choices to make and I brought Omaha because I could not feasibly deny her this gift but also because there was no other safe alternative. This has changed and I will now have the time any adult needs to unwind and begin a sane life once more.

Omaha asked me to begin reading Shantaram to her last night and adoring this request I did, 4 pages in she said- I love this book. A half hour later when I stopped she said- oh really- so again I comment on her aptitude to realise the world at such a young age and enjoy it.

The 3rd copy of Shantaram has been gifted- Greta began her read yesterday on a long lay over home. We had a great group here in India and I will hold dear all whom I have met and look forward to seeing again.

I will at some point rework add on or endeavour more for these entries in script but for now -

I give you Salutations from India
