The best day

What can be a better start of the day than receiving a call from my cousin Sneha to have breakfast with them. Especially when I was longing for home made food. As usual I did not say 'no' for the invite; and reached Mundraji's apmt by 11 am. The stomach feast started with amazing paneer parathas. Home made food, with the blend of perfect spices, and company of like minded people. I knew this day's gonna be best day so far in San Jose.


With parathas for the tummy, and a pixar movie - 'Wall E' for the soul. Some people say, its a animated movie about robots, but I say this is a perfect love story about Artificially Intelligent emotions. The movie made me realise, I can stand cockroach for so many minutes together. Now the hope is restored that, one fine day in this life, I will stop hating cockroaches. (Now its a different story that I killed about a dozen of them when I returned back to my apmt in Chennai, seeing them occupying my apmt).


Then started the long drive to Livermore Temple, with some mindblowing views of the hill side houses. One of my favourite person dreams to buy a house on the hills, for the retirement. And
seeing the houses, I realised the dream is really worth it.



All the Gods were doing fine, and happy together at the temple. After spending some time there, and having prasad, the drive for Gurudrawa started. This was sometimes around the sunset time; and all of us have this likemindedness to enjoy sky colors. It was a good talk while we reached Gurudwara.


Listening to Gurubani and Kirtan, with eyes shut, and heart beating to the rhythm of live tabla, I think this was the only time in a long while that I was quite blank and happy too. I did not want it to finish, but then the langar was waiting. Had the special Tea of the Gurudwara, and drove back home.


I can really call this - the best day in San Jose. 'Thanks' would be a small word for the lovely couple - Sneha and Anuragji.
