The much awaited monsoon is here and it is getting cooler as the days go by. When we landed the climate felt no different from kuwait. But now the nights are cooler.
We have a new member in our family. Jim- he is only 2 months old but very adorable. He is a labrador. Here is a cute picture of him. Hope none puts eyes on him :). He is already on antibiotics due to change in food. He now travels with us wherever we go and behaves very well when out in the public.
This time I have help around the house. She is very efficient and her appearance has further enhanced my vacation. She has 2 children, a girl and boy but her husband left her and hence she is a single mother. They were in Bombay and during her second delivery he left with the lady who had come to cook for him, while she was in Kerala. She now stays with her parents who are getting old. Her children are now studying in the government school and she says the school is good. Yesterday she went for the PTA and met some good teachers. The uniform and school bag is provided free of cost and they also have lunch; rice gruel with a lentil dish. When the student reaches 7th standard, they will be provided with a bicycle too. Felt very happy hearing this. This arrangement eases much burden off her and she is much hopeful for her two children. The school recently shifted to English medium. I do not know if every other school is similar or if it is because of the teachers who are teaching in this school. And I also wonder how the situation is in the rest of the country.

Hi, did you say that you took the pup along with you to India? That is wonderful.Perhaps you could tell me the formalities , if you know, to bring a pet ( dog) into the GCC.
ReplyDeleteAnil: we acquired the pup from here and will be leaving him behind.. sad to say.. dont know the formalities, but I guess u need a certificate that the pup is free from disease etc.
Deleteyes, many schools are providing free lunch to children..its a good scheme.
ReplyDeleteRenu: Kerala had this scheme much before other states.. if i am right it is TN which started this scheme first. The Kerala govt. schools were very good until a decade ago.. I hope they are turning good again.
DeleteHi, I am a new reader. Your puppy is so cute! Hope he is doing great now. Do visit my blog when you get a chance.
