....the transit in Bangalore,though short was invigorating as we saw our small abode under construction in the suburbs near completion....reminded me of my late father who opted for a small dwelling in Gurgaon in 1992 purely with the visionary thought of relocation ,education of children & grand children.Gurgaon was a small upcoming town and we cherised the small dwelling.My younger brother Neil had his fledgling career and I relocating bolstered by many a relatives following suit.The toil and tears and success we tasted there is history now and we owe this to my late father who showed us the way.So....when Bangalore with its ambient clime appealed to us always in transit to MALE',Maldives, I planned a similar coup for my children in having seen the fabulous educational instititions there....! and just 2 1/2 hrs flight to MLE.Today,Basant Panchami little Nanu's Hathey Khori was solemnised with tropical flowers an Saraswati Bandana.....! with little Doel and Ma Archana as witness.True,being expats away from home we miss the environs but the gaiety remains in our heart and Archana ensures that..Coincidentally ,a distant call to Madhupur with nanu calling my ageing Mother in gibberish ,garnering her blessings was just when she was at Puja there....yes,my sister has never failed to have a Saraswati Puja there as we had left in 1990 in the Railway Quarters....!
