This was not my
first monthly walk organised by the Singapore Centre but it was my first one
with Anushna my darling granddaughter!
Shailaja was kind to have driven us to the venue. Once we commenced the
walk, I was wondering how long Auropriya my daughter would last holding Anushna
in her baby carrier but we happily sauntered on for 45 minutes one way. Anushna
loved it as she enjoys the outdoors and was delighted to gaze at Nature and see
the birds in the cages while returning.
It is always
such a pleasure to join in the monthly walks in Singapore as the locales are
one better than the other; at least to me as I do not reside here.
This time the
site selected was Bedok Reservoir. To walk along its waters on one side and the
green lawns on the other was a rare treat for me and I thoroughly enjoyed
myself. Mr Ramanathan along with ten others took a full circle around it.
After this
invigorating walk, we made our way to Sheetal and Anand Venkat’s home, our
hosts for the brunch. We started with a meditation followed by prayers. This
was well attended and to say the least the spread was delicious. – a favourite
destination for brunch for many. Sheetal
graciously ordered a cake to our luck as it was her son’s birthday in March
which coincided with Anushna’s birthday end of the week. It was a joyous
occasion and celebrating it with the Ashram family was even more so. As this
centre brunch coincided with the Executive Committee meeting, we stayed for a
bit longer in the host’s house and Anushna was no short of entertaining
everyone.
I am sure I will
be making many more visits to Singapore in the future and look forward to
creating more fond memories with my granddaughter.
