April activities.
I left SFO on March 24th to visit my son and daughter in Toronto. Next day after my arrival my son Jibesh and daughter in law Rachna organized birthday celebration for Sayaa and me. Lata, Bianca, Pocca came to attend celebration at Jibesh’s house. We had a good time together. The days passed and on 29th we (Jibesh and I) went to see Brayden and had lunch together. After coming back home I had gone of a long walk. Rachna made dosa. On 30th March I spent with Lata and went to downtown to watch a movie. On 31st I gave Sayaa a purse and $100/- for her birthday. On April 1st Bianca Pocca and Lata came to pick me up and spent the day with them. On 6th April Lata’s birthday we had dinner at Pickle Barrel. Wanda came and gave me a scarf as gift. Later Pocca and Lata dropped me at Jibesh’s place. On 7th April we went to see Brayden and had lunch at McDonal as all other restaurants were closed. Prabha called from India and now at her home in Gurgaon. On 9th April went to winery, Rachna’s sister in law Supriya also came. On way back we much at McDonal and had Fish Fille. Came back home and chatted for sometime until Supriya’s husband came to pick her up. Family get together before Bianca leaves for Portugal on 18th April.
I spent April 11 with Ushi Choudhury.She drove to Downtown area and had lunch at Moti Mohal. Spent the rest of the day at her apartment until Jibesh came to pick me up. Next day went to Brampton with Jibesh and had hair cut. Also talked to Ushi to find out about the Upashna culture. I was informed that my booking for India is on 26th October reaching on 27th. Bianca and pocca moved to Portugal on 18th April 2023. I spent most of the time watching shows in TV and if weather good gone for a walk. Lata is all alone now. We all sat at Jibesh’s backyard drinking and Lata also came to stay the night.
On 22nd April I left Toronto for San Francisco. Even though I had good time in Toronto I am so happy to be in my own room and bed. I keep myself busy gardening as well as reading books. Made hawaijar for our Manipuri meeting. On April 27 I talked with Gautam’s mom for a long time. She reminds me of my grandmother’s life. Came to know about Arvind’s upcoming surgery on 15 May.
Spent time with group of Indians for holi color festival in the city along with Shobha and Lall. Leon also came to play. I didn’t join at the last moment even though I went prepared. Evening on 29th April I listened to Jo Biden’s and also Roy Wood’s (black man) speeches and found very interesting. Next day was also busy day, going to Paro’s place as well as to Gurudwara where special celebration was going on and hence it was too crowded. (When the Pathans invaded India Sikhs were the ones who fought against the invaders.)This was the reason for celebration.
