Catching up!

We still haven't got internet connection from Tata Indicom...the misery continues.

The great hunt for the car is over. After surveying the market, and taking a few test drives, we have settled in for Ford Fiesta. We expect the car this weekend. There's an agency (janavahana) that arranges drivers for those in need...like us! The service is pricey by Indian standards (Rs 5k pm), but it comes with peace of mind.

We have our living room furniture, the beds are still on order. For now, we have more or less settled into a daily rythm. Vallabh is going to a swimming class (which he hates btw). The summer is starting to make it known...the temps are in the high 80s (relatively high for Bangalore).

Anu's mom is leaving next week to Chennai. Sudha and Skanda are visiting Bangalore tomorrow - we are eager to meet them.

The mango season is in full swing...the fruit is delicious - can't believe how long we missed it!!!
