Expatliv: Geeta

http://expatliv.blogspot.com/2014/09/geeta.html

Thursday, 25 September 2014. Now I am back in Mumbai, and I met Geeta again. Quietly she sat there on the floor in class, listening, looking at the others, biting her pencil. After class, she gave me a drawing with a sun, blue sky and flowers in it. She pointed at a large yellow flower in her painting - Sunflower. She said. - I like them. My mother like them also.

Thursday, 2 October 2014. 1 day and 2 celebrations. First: thank you for all kind comments on my previous post about Geeta.

Thursday, 16 October 2014. Let there be light. Remember Eli, over the dark clouds, the sky is always blue. That is what my grandfather used to say to me. In those moments when the worries seemed unbearable and there was absolutely no light in the horizon whatsoever. There is always light in the end of that tunnel.
