Last details
I am in the Webb's yard using their wireless connection on my work laptop. The movers just unplugged our internet connection. Just a few hours left until the place is empty.
The women who sweep the streets asked for a tip and Monga (the maid) has taken countless items and Subu (driver) is taking the portable DVD player. Essentially, it has been driven home that we are an entity on which various local people make their living, and then occasionally cannibalize our assets. Sometimes they ask - other times without asking.
Such is life lived within a world of disparities.
We're running around trying to get everything done while the ATM card is on its way. Based upon what Fed Ex.com is telling me, it must be over Turkey by now.
Major hassle.
Aidan really enjoyed India. He has a great ability to make friends and in India he had a great time with a multitude of buddies. He learned to play cricket and often stayed out until the sun set and he was no longer able to play.
He says he'll miss India because of the friends he made here.
