It was a Wednesday again and it was time for our play date. All the amazing ladies turned up with their little ones and soon, Sunshine herded them all to his room and left the mamas alone to chat and gossip. I feel so blessed to have these Wednesday afternoons with these lovely ladies because it is such a great stress buster. Like my dear friend Ms Positive described it, our Wednesday afternoons are loud, crazy and full of fun.
This week, my neighbour also joined us with her kid and she had just come back from a couple of months in India. Somehow we started talking about which is a better place for us to live - India or Germany. We all miss India for sure, but we also like a lot of things about life in Germany. We analysed, reasoned, theorised and came to no conclusion whatsoever. We are all human after all and we would like our German salaries, infrastructure, the cleaner air, law and order with our families and friends, celebrate life itself like in India, the spontaneity, the warmth, friendliness and make a new world for ourselves. Since we do not know of such a place yet and it is not within our power to create such a place, I guess we are enjoying a slice of such a life on Wednesday afternoons.
Holi is coming up and we could not find any colours in the Indian stores in Heidelberg. Fortunately, I managed to find some in Frankfurt, although they were ridiculously expensive. Now, all we have to do is go wild and smear everyone with colour on Monday. Holi hai...
