From Topsy to Turvey in One Week

Last Week-end was such a contrast to this one...Roast Beef, Yorkshire Puddings and a settled kind of normality.

We knew that the global recession was having a huge impact on everyone, everywhere. And we knew that 'Our Time in In-dia Straits' was in the balance and up for debate.

So, it shouldn't really have been such a kick in the teeth to hear that we will be leaving Chennai...only it is.

We have invested so much time, effort and stress to get here. We landed on Indian soil with all 8 of our family feet running, while simultaneously embracing and trying to understand a different culture and adjust to the climate in a different hemisphere. We picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down, turned on the air-con and got on with India and her foibles and began to find our way through the chaos and began to make it work for us. Finally we relaxed and got on with our lives here. Now I want to STAMP MY FEET, because there is still so much to be seen, discovered and experienced. However, in this financial climate and at this time in history...a job is a really good thing to have.

When and where we will be going is still undecided, we should know is the next few weeks. In the meantime, I'm going to make a concerted effort to resume back to 'normality' (ha ha!) and enjoy the time we have left in this mad, crazy, wonderful and beautiful place that is INDIA.
