comforts of home

We’re back in Mysore with all its comforts. Some of the cleaning that I had done on our first arrival, and contacting the right people meant that we arrived to a nice clean room. We’re really thankful for the kitchen too. The other Baha’i centre had a burner, but didn’t have much else, so the fridge and the various pots and pans are a welcome sight. We’re a bit tired of eating out all the time.

I never thought I’d say this, but even the laundry scrubbing stone was welcome! We’ve been washing our clothes ourselves as we went to various places and Nadim really missed his scrubbing stone! He put it to good use this morning while I was busy with the girls getting school lessons in.

This afternoon we went off to Big Bazaar. We had a coupon and since we’d had such luck the last couple of times we visited, we thought we’d try again, but alas it appears our luck at Big Bazaar has run out. We came home empty handed for a change!

This evening I think we may watch a movie on our laptop. Speaking of movies... Nadim and I watched “Slum Dog Millionaire” a couple of weeks ago. It was really cool to see some of the places we’ve been and some very familiar sights. If you haven’t seen it, you should, and then you should tell us what you thought!

It was an amazing movie! I was wondering if you were in any of the locations from the movie…

The Agra location, Taj Mahal was very familiar, but many of the types of sites, like slums or begging, or general street scenes were also familiar. It probably wasn't the same location, but so similar.
