Friday, January 12

You can never quite know what will happen or who will turn up. Auo died ten years ago today and we celebrate her life and commemorate her far-too-early death with a candle-lit pooja.

We had intended to do it just for ourselves but Irma made a mention of it in Facebook and someone asked if they could come and then, suddenly, a lot of people came.

Chad and Sally walked here, as did Olya who walked for miles because she didn’t really know how to find our house but kept on going until (somehow) she did. Saija and Udaya came, along with Ritu from next door, and more.
