Back to Chandigarh after nearly a year, and much water has flown over the Sukhna Lake in the interim. So much of travel, my usual haunts of Udaipur and Orissa, and two months at Zambia. I love Africa, the wide spaces, the utter silence, huge trees. And the work was good, engrossing.
Things have been very hectic for the last few months. At Chandigarh I am now getting back to myself, somehow the phone calls have reduced and work is not pressured. Dont know how long this will last.
This City has a calming effect on me. The weather is chill, just enough to be pleasant. Planning to take a long walk this evening.I miss the walks I used to take at Lalbagh at Bangalore,when I lived close by, and I have’nt found a suitable park near my new apartment.
Ive been doing quite a bit of cooking, and need to start organizing the recipes. Pasta is coming out well,as are the various salads Ive been trying out. Experimenting with fusion cooking of a kind, European herbs and vegetables with Indian curries.
My daughter has got me a batch of herbs, and I should be trying them out soon.
Ive promised recipes to some friends and need to start working on these.
Hope to catch a movie this weekend, haven’t been to the theatre for nearly a year, and usually too tired to watch movies on TV.
Once I get back to Bangalore, should get back to the weekend plays. Rangashankara would be too far, so should try out the theatre at Indranagar.I think Evam have come out with a new production.
