I never thought I’d be one of those people who look forward to a weekend because frankly for me almost every day is like a weekend  In fact my weekends are busier than my weekdays as I don’t have other people’s work schedules to work my day around.

Last weekend began with 9 chocolate cupcakes made by Daughter No. 1’s school friend. This young lady is a professional pasty chef so need I say more? These are really the best cupcakes in town as are her other desserts.

The weekend was spent in Pune where we shopped and shopped but didn’t drop. It was fun going through the crowded streets in bumpy rickshaw rides. Pune’s rickshaws are getting hard to comeby and a word of advise to any traveler to Pune : pre-book a rickshaw for a day if you intend doing some serious shopping as most drivers refuse to take you where you want to go. And as for hiring a taxi – forget it. The streets are too crowded for humans let alone cars.

 This weekend’s gift was this gorgeous break in my monsoon sky just as the sun was about to set! I’m sure after a really wet and grey week, we will enjoy some dry weather.
