Happy Rakhi [Lily]
A few nights ago we went out to eat for the first time. We went to a restaurant called Mirch Masala that we ate at a lot last time we were here. It has delicious food. We take taxis a lot. They have no seatbelts or AC. Dad always sits in the front seat while Mom, Emma, Clara and I are squished together in the back. We’ve started home school already, even though it’s a month earlier than we’d start in Granby. But I’m not complaining. It gives us something to do instead of sitting around playing Uno for the one millionth time. Today is Rakhi, a day where sisters honor their brothers. Durga Puja, a holiday that worships the goddess, Durga, and her husband, Shiva, is coming up. So its ok here, but we’ve only been here a few days.

Question for Lily: What do the unfortunate sisters do who do not have brothers to honor?
Might I suggest that the Stoics might be an appropriate focus of study for the younger Hartleys home school program? They seem to have captured the spirit of the movement.
Hi Lily. Thanks for sharing about your adventures. Been thinking about you. - KH and family
rakhi isn't just sisters honoring brothers, its about honoring each other. since brothers are responsible for giving the money/gifts, and all the sisters do is tie a charm around the brother's hand, sisters definitely get the better end of the deal on this one. glad youre enjoying kolkata!
