Sorry I was missing

Since I returned home end of June with Ameya I was busy last four months with society elections, golf tournaments and most importantly renovation of ground floor living room, guest room and the bath & toilet.

Today I must say that after more than 2 and half months the work is concluded and I can start furnishing the guest room and be ready to receive Pondy, Laxmi, Papa & Chandu on 4th December for a week of golfing vacation in Pune.

I will post pictures of renovated ground floor soon after I return from Hyderabad after attending Sunil's wedding. I forgot to say that we were off to Singapore and Bali from 7th to 17th November.
We returned home on Sunday 18th early morning and tomorrow we are leaving for Hyderabad to attend the wedding.

Bali I think is one of the last paradise left on earth. It is crime free, safe and beautiful & clean. Balinis people are friendly and also 90% of them are Hindus. This is in contrast to rest of Indonesia i.e java, Sumatra etc which is predominantly Muslim and full of crime. However Hindism practiced by Balinis people is some 5th century Hindism. Hindus in India have moved on but it feels as if Balinese people are frozen in time as far as religious practices are concerned.

Bali was ruled by Brits, Dutch and for a short time japanese from time to time. That explains the progress of the island. Touists come from basically UK & Australia. Tourism is most important for the economy, so Balinis people go all the way to keep the place nice & clean to attract more & more tourits.

We just ate , slept and during the day went exploring the island of Bali in a taxi
