Yes, that's right. We are now down to Veena's last week in Bangalore. How we got here so suddenly, I will never understand.
The Impington group left this morning, and suddenly I look around and realise that I am also leaving in approximately 9 days. Yikes.
There is lots to be done this week, which means that I am mostly going to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. A bit of shopping; Vaidehi's wedding; Amai's birthday lunch; dinner at Shonu's house; lunch at Dorothy's; dinner at Kamal and Tanya's; nice birthday dinner with Prakash-a; a few last-minute Peace Child duties [newsletter blurbs; one final visit to say bye to the rugrats at the Boys' Home; finishing the project description notebook; etc]; and spending some nice quality time with baby Nilah before I leave and she forgets me forever. And that is all before my farewell party on Saturday. Then my mother arrives on Sunday morning. Then we leave super-duper early on Tuesday morning. Oh. And apparently I am supposed to pack somewhere in all of that mess.
We kicked off birthday week last night. According to Prakash, I will be receiving one surprise each day/evening. Yesterday's was a nice shiny new bottle of Jack Daniel's. The boy certainly does know the way to my heart. Jane, Morgan, Carlos, Katharina, Prakash and I each had a shot last night to toast to the week.
Wonder what today's surprise will be...
