In 2022, the loss of an incisor left a bad taste in the mouth. As I look ahead to a happy 2023, I weigh all that I gained and lost in the year of the tooth.
Loved this summary of 2022! I am encouraged to join a Geetha class after reading this. So much to do and such little time!! And now you tell me to not react but respond. Here is to a another fun and thought provoking 2023 to you and Mohan!!
Happy New Year, Kalpana! What a year full of adventures you had! Yellowstone is amazing. I would love to visit it in winter some time. And I have never been to Israel, nor to India... so many worlds out there.
Do avocado trees take breaks from bearing fruit? Do you happen to know how many years it takes for a young one to bear fruit? I grew one from a seed, it is at least 1 m tall, but not yet bearing fruit.
Such a wonderful, thoughtful and thought-provoking read. A very happy new year to you and your family, and I hope that 2023 sees the end of your dental woes!
You write so well Kalpana. and when you look back as you did, it gives you an understanding of all that you did, the good and the bad, and the journey seems worth f it. Yes, your year long reading and telling us about books in translation was worth your time..I've saved many, hoping to read them soon :) see you at one of the lit fests soon
A beautiful reckoning, Kalpana, and some valuable insights. This one will stick with overly reactive me: “I’m learning, however, that it is all about attitude. The Gita tells us, repeatedly, to show equanimity and composure. This means—even in daily life—to not react but respond.” Good luck with the tooth, and I wish you a healthy, fulfilling 2023!
