Balaji TempleBalaji TempleBalaji Temple

Balaji Temple at Bridgewater. Very nice, big and neat. Ravi says it is the biggest in U.S..and richest too. Beautiful idols, beautifully decorated. It has idols of all Indian Gods and Godesses.
N wanted to join me for the morning walk. But we could walk only for five minutes. It was too cold and windy at 7 am. So we came back. I waited all day for the warm weather. It did not happen at all. Although sun was up and bright even at noon it was cold.

Found the movie ‘Witness for the prosecution’ after over ten years of search. Great movie.

After lunch slept till 3:25. Rushed to the school for the 3:30 appointment for N for the tour of classroom-Montessori Method in Sahana’s school. Then went to Shop Rite for groceries before returning home.

At 6:00 pm Ravi came and picked us up. Went to his house and then to Balaji Temple and Oak Tree Street with all the Indian shops and restaurants. Came back to his place, picked up Shuba and Rohith and went to an Ethiopian restaurant called Makeda. It was 9pm when we entered the restaurant. After dinner back to Ravi’s house. Ravi showed us around the house. When he dropped us back it was 11pm.

Every morning a sparrow, i presume the same sparrow comes and sits on the tree just when the sun is coming out. It flits around for awhile chirping happily. I love it.
