The New View
After 13 years of 1202 we had to move out. It was the first shifting for the wife and the daughter both.
Moving is hard. We get attached to a place. It becomes our safe heaven. Breaking that safety leaves us open -- vulnarable. I tried to believe that the true roof is the sky on our heads and no one can take that away. But for the second time in my life I felt the pain of leaving home.
Luckily we managed to stay in familiar environs. The view, though, has changed. Now we look towards the south instead at the west.

An Angle
Life is full of angles, circles and lines. Or so it seems. An angel is an abrupt change in trajectory. An acute angle is an ouch. A right angle is often the sign that all is not right.
One wonders.

Tough Year
It's been a tough year.
That photo is from Sept last year. It feels like yesterday. Time is flying. Its been 9+ months since I have been slaving on Canon.
And then the health shocks. All the excesses of life finally caught up.
One has to pay the price for all foolishnesses.

Kumbhe Dam
A fast trip to this remote land in April. My mama and Unnu came down from Solapur. Mama had worked in this area about 15 years back. He wanted to revisit memories. This is the site of a earthen dam project which was abandoned.
The landscape is still pristine. Till the tunnel was made, this was inaccessable wilderness.
There is this desolate kind of settlement on top for the people displaced by the dam. Sort of a new village. Mama went looking for a person who had worked with him all those years back -- and found him! We explored the dam site a litte more but it was sweltering hot so we decided to head back. The road to Kumbhe forks near Nizampur on the Pune-Mangaon road. Food was to be found near Mangao so we headed in that direction. The journey back via Tamhini was beautiful as always. Every time I visit this landscape I am in awe. So magestic.

Goodbye 2025
This must be the earlierst goodbye from me. Its not even 3 hours since the year
ended.
2025 has been a difficult year. The peace gave away to financial distress.
I believe 2026 will bring lasting change.
