During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director how do
You determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
‘Well,’ said the Director, ‘we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.’
‘Oh, I understand,’ I said. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.’
‘No.’ said the Director, ‘A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?’

I’m not exactly sure what Sheela is doing, but it is clear that the Babus are in charge. This was from a recent cider pressing excursion to a friend of Sheela’s co-resident Noah.
A note of thanks to Tania
on the 11,322nd day of your life
(apologies if we missed a leap year or two)
To the writer who brought us Anju and Linno,
To the dancer who brought color and rhythm to our wedding,
To the sister whose late night laughter made possible deeper reflections,
To the maami who taught the Babus Maru how to build a snowman,
To the wife who has made, with our favorite lawyer-taxi-driver-weight-lifter-justice-
rapper, a warm and loving home.
With love,
Sheela, Duncan, Anand, Umed, Dipti, Usha, Hans
