Nighttime Grumps

Deven is like his father (shocker, I know...) But, ok, you say - how? Both of them can be sleeping soundly - and the slightest breeze, or rattle, or footstep can cause both of them to awaken, INCREDIBLY grumpy. Deven shrieks, cries, and creates a general ruckus - where his father curses, grumbles, and pulls the covers off of his innocent spouse (that would be me). Neither of them remember any horrid behavior the next morning. Harrumph.



Family news: Yogesh's dad (Daada) is doing very well, post-heart attack and angioplasty. In fact, he's feeling better than ever, and as he's on strict orders to not smoke, he's even taking better care of himself. He's happily painting away in Delhi (see http://omprakash.in/ for some of his works), and Daadi is staying here, for now at least. Given that the weather is expected to be in the low-mid 40s (doesn't sound so bad, you say? I'm talking METRIC here - that's 100 - 110, Farenheit!), with "high dust" - we keep shuddering to think how miserable it is there.
