mysore meets vancouver

Last year in India we used to have chai 'n' cookie nights. We'd meet on our rooftop and eat ourselves silly basking in the electrifying rush of sugar and the heartwarming buzz that is generated when surrounded by very wonderful people.

We're not in India this year but several of us were together in Vancouver so we celebrated chai 'n' cookie night Canadian style, bringing a little bit of the East to join us in the West.

For just about all of us life is unspeakably different this year than it was last in ways both shocking and glorious - often at the same time. Then again, it's very much the same: more than enough food to eat, the beauty of the setting sun, laughter, and amazing people bringing friendship, warmth and love.

Life can be counted on to be good if we don't get stuck up on the details. Very blessed, we are.
