Summer is here

The heat is at a 100F, and it’s killing! I know I’ve lived in India and the temperature was almost the same, but for some reason this seems worse than that and no, I’m not acting like a firangi

I’ve almost completed a year here in Texas. This year will be my first one away from home, but also, hopefully the most memorable, for reasons the world does not need to know. I didn’t get the internship that I was hoping for and strangely, I’m not as disappointed as I thought I’d be…His grace is overwhelming. What does bother me is how soon I’m going to finish this program. I feel like I’m running out of patience, but I still have 2 years to go and I can’t do anything but complete it well…

I’ve come to realize that I like cooking and feeding people I made a new friend today. She’s Puerto Rican and she’s been to Bihar for a mission trip. I had never met her, but I enjoyed cooking and feeding her so much I think I should consider going and cooking for a community kitchen or something!! Time put to good use…not to mention my skills too. The only thing that is not helped by my incessant cooking is my weight. I’ve managed to lose a few pounds, but the bulk of it remains and I really want to lose it, well ahead of the wedding, whenever that is…God help me!!
