19 yrs today and the memories are still fresh. The death anniversary of my dad. A lifelong sorrow for not being able to attend his funeral owing to heightened tensions btw our two countries. How many of us have suffered on both sides. His fav flowers bloom today

Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with the beauty of summer, the quiet of nature and a warm cozy cottage. Art is an inspirational tool. It starts with recognizing your talent and how to use it to serve others. Thomas Kinkade.

Retweeted by Rashna Gazder Each day is but a garden of colours. From the bright to the dusky.
Pause and listen to birdsong. It's everywhere.
Sow flower seeds,grow plants or trees or just admire the beauty of nature. Bask in the joys of colours, in the life giving greens and browns.
Our garden today
Mumbai is gorgeous tonight with a full moon and Venus. This lovely picture was shared by my brother from his apartment. It evoked severe homesickness and I am hoping that Corona and Visa restrictions allow me to meet my family &friends soon. #indopakfiles
The simplest people come forward in our fundraisers & they have touched my heart. This is a memory captured by my driver when a known rickshaw driver stopped by, handing me a donation for Indus hospitals children's Cancer ward. He could barely make ends meet. Unforgettable!

Before Corona struck, I had numerous concert rehearsals at my home. For the last two years, extensive rehearsals have taken place online. It's been challenging for both teacher & pupil. Watch out for a beautiful Fundraising Concert online in Mid Sept for @TheLadyDufferin
It's been 4 years ! Proud to represent the Parsis of Karachi through Music, in @Mobeen_Ansari book White In The Flag. Mobeen has lovely books after this. Dharkan & Heartbeat of a Nation. His photography is mind-blowing of Pakistan. A truly humble and kind soul is Mobeen twitter.com/Mobeen_Ansari/…
A scrumptious dinner is what we had thanks to Mixed Cravings launched by Zeena. It was piping hot and was crying out loud to be eaten by 8 pm !!! This is Herb Roast Leg of Lamb with Shrewbury glaze.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch of boomla or fried Bombay ducks. Just right in this cloudy pleasant weather! As many of you, earlier were interested on how they look, here's a fresh packet ! They are eaten best, hot from the stove with chapati & a squeeze of lime. A fav of parsis.
Sindh govt announced lockdown in Karachi from July 31 to August 8 amid the COVID delta variant surge.
Retweeted by Rashna Gazder The Corona situation is spiralling out of control. The burden is too much on hospitals. My disturbed Dr Son has called me after a terrible night. Drs are facing death again of young & old. The situation is grave. Very grave. Here is x-ray of a 34 year old. Donot take this lightly twitter.com/titojourno/sta…
Online teaching has its perks, opening up new vistas of getting people together from various cities. Our french session had a pupil join us from Singapore who interchanged ideas with my Karachi pupils. My sister @ShernaBhumgara, a French teacher too from Mumbai joined in !
This is the reason why Corona will never be controlled.. My Urdu teacher just informed me that she was looking forward to a wedding tonight. A Pvt affair of 100 people, reduced from 250. My Dr son has just informed me that patients are critical and no room in hospitals.
Massive jump seen in the last 24 hours in the number of critical coronavirus patients

Retweeted by Rashna Gazder This is Ooty, in South India The home of my maternal grandmother & an annual holiday destination for my mum and all of us years back. Would love to visit again. Unfortunately politics, borders and visas have divided so many of us from visiting each others countries
