Hello all! If anyone is even still around :) I was reading through my last blog post and I realized one thing. The world has still not changed a bit - Situation in Ukraine, Climate change, black holes. Add to it COVID, Monkey Pox, political turmoil. It has become much worse if anything

Its been a dreary few years both personally and worldwise. We moved to the US from the UK.  Enough to make the world stop going around - to Southern California which is one of the dreariest places to live in. One reason enough - NO RAIN!!! AND - everyone I see around me is happy about it equating it to the best climates in the world given that there is not much water to go around. 

Brexit - which proved to be one of the most divisive political changes to hit Britain - we were hounded so much by our right wing neighbours that it played a larger than it should have role in moving to the US.

Trump times in SoCal - what a time to land in the reddest part of a fairly blue state. 

Covid - struck down and humbled by a contagion - felt like a Robin Cook  novel

But I guess there have been positive things too. We welcomed our son in the sunny Cali times. As he says so many times - he is a California boy. Its been my brightest spot in a few years. Thanks for all the love and PPD R! 

I just felt like I should post. I have missed everyone here. I don't have a lot of friends and this space felt like I was sharing my life with a few who are very important to me. 

I hope all of you are doing fantastically well - please write back. Missing you a lot. Sorry for the above whinging! :) Hope will try to write a bit more consistently in both spaces - Prapathi and Shrishti.
