My heart is feeling really heavy whilst writing this. I have just seen my firstborn grandchild Siya….my little baby… my sweetheart leave home for her flight to London where she will be joining the University Of Arts London at Camberwell Arts School. I have very mixed emotions just now… I am extremely excited for her…

I suddenly realised that it has been almost one year since I wrote my blog on this wonderful game Mahjong. In that year I have evolved from the initial hesitant rather scared player to someone who plays with confidence and gay abandon! It is great fun, extremely irritating when you are waiting for one particular…

As we enter the second part of the year we have a whole load of festivals and  family rituals to look forward to. As the auspicious month of Sawan starts we either have in our homes or attend the Rudra Abhishek where we are totally blessed by Shivji. Then we have Sindhara where mothers can…
