It was an amazing week keeping me busy with work. I enjoyed Vishy's visit and though we met a few times but spoke extensively over the phone, it felt great to catch up with our truly mature friendship which has stood the test of over two decades & only gone from strength to strength.
Dad's attempts to win over his battle with his illness are worthy of appreciation. I am confident he will get better. I thank all my friends for praying for his well being & for speaking with him & mum to keep his spirits high. Special thanks to Meher & Romal..
Mum has been by Dad's side for the past two years and has done a sterling job worthy of praise for which we love her so dearly.
My Seniors Workshop has recommenced in 2011 & to adopt a Retirement Village with 400 families and to spend two hours every alternate saturday with them makes me feel really nice & puts my mind at ease.
Breakfast with Gareth & mates every other saturday is a ritual now where we have a great time together in a very mature way. I have learnt a lot from all my mates who are successful people from different walks of lives & cherish my friendship with each & every one of them.
Meher, has painted this lovely painting for me in oils which I cannot wait to receive & have framed & put up in my lounge. Its friends like these who make one feel so special & value the essence of true friendship so selflessly.
I was pretty concerned about my friend Jo, who lives up in Queensland, which was hit by Cyclone Anthony & Cyclone Yasi. I'm glad it didnt cause loss of lives to her or her friends & family, though it did cause a fair bit of damage & destruction thru it's path. I hope we can make it to the Witsundays & do some spear fishing & scuba diving sometime in the near future.
Sydney has been boiling over the past few days with temperatures going up into the mid 40's. I'm glad its all over for the moment.
Sanjay is going over to meet Dad in ten days from now to review his health. I hope he can clear Dad to travel to Sydney or even drop him here with me so that I can help Dad speedtrack his way to recovery.
Thats all for now...

Meher is so thrilled and delighted to have a mention in your life ....
Rajiv,
You have been my friend and i cherish each and every moment we shared while we were in college and then later on as we geared up to pursue our career path.
They say that "The mind is then deeply influenced by your peer group, and that creates a lasting impression on ones personality".
I am sure i imbibed "Seriousness" from u and you took the Laughter and Open-ness from me. Hence, today "You", my FRIEND, are a smiling and a not-so-shy person we knew way back then.
Love ,
Meher
Awww Meher, Thanks so much for your kind words which I truly appreciate..
