Yeah we do.

I am thankful...
  • For things that come in the post. I got a little parcel from a cousin in Kolkata for my birthday. That was SWEET! Keep them coming postman!
  • For cool weather. Bombay is a beautiful balance of weather right now - not too hot, not too cold and not too wet!
  • For empty trains in the morning.
  • For C.S. Lewis's sense of humour! Niru gave me book of daily readings by Lewis for my last birthday. I'm rediscovering it now.
  • For friends who live abroad and let me share in their experiences. I'm all the richer for it. Thank you.
  • For phone calls from Sis-in-law :) We should do it more often.
  • For conversations that go beyond the surface.
  • For living in an area where I only have to walk a few metres to buy whatever I fancy.
  • For blogs written in German and feeling the words coming back to me.
  • For Tropicana 100% Grape juice and the abundance of grapes in the market.
  • For time spent with my grand-uncle and grand-aunt who have so many stories to share. For their love and their friendship.
  • For opportunities to conquer my fears.
  • That I was forced to read works by the likes of Shakespeare, Keats, Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Hardy, Orwell etc, etc in school. Stuff that I would probably never have read otherwise but that have given me a love for literature (reading it, I still don't like analyzing it :P).
  • For the power of hindsight.
  • For excellent teachers that make you question and think. One of my best Mass Comm classes EVER today.
  • For being in touch with people I care about.
  • For having SO much to be thankful for!
