Long vacation due to swine flu. Missed 2 weekends = 4 classes. Most importantly, missed 15th Aug'09.
Date structure changes hereafter.

29/08/09: The great wall of China is seen everywhere, camouflaged as loudspeakers... It's Ganapati time, after all. Impossible to even lip-read what human beings speak out... What amplitude! Ah!!

Ran away to BC to conduct the class. And what a surprise! The tiny little Ganapati, usually sitting peacefully watching us from a corner, was being intimidated by yet another loudspeaker wall of China...

Duh. No class. Went to the river with kids and watched the household Ganapati immersion processions. Today's the seventh day of the festival, which is also a 'visarjan' day for many. Talked to kids about the environmental hazards of immersing Ganapati idols and other related things into the river. Also noted, yet again, that each year, couple of guys at Patil Estate get drowned during Ganapati festival.


30/08/09: Party time at home till 4pm! Krunal's birthday. Even otherwise, there was hardly any point in conducting a class either at Patil Estate or at BC, from yesterday's experience...
