Of Eid, Ganapati and Two Brats

Hello Hello Hello. I’m back after a week of celebrations, feasting, donkey-work and relaxing. Apologies for abandoning this blog for quite some time, but like I’ve said before, when I’m home, the last thing I touch is my laptop I thank ALL of you who messaged/sms-ed/mailed/commented your Eid wishes.
