San’s teammate is fostering rescued cats and was telling now I have to find homes.
San on a whim says I will take one. She was interviewed. She took photos of our balcony – which is pigeon netted and her application was approved.
On May 23rd, Saturday evening we met Desire – yep – that’s the name of the 40 day kitten – along with Sufi. Both smelled each other and we exchanged some clothes rubbed on these to get familiarised.
After the meetup – we get back into our layout and find it totally jammed. It was around 6PM.
We stop ( and further the jam ) and pick up potato chips from our regular shop.
Night we have dinner in Amu’s home.
Made from scratch Chowmein, Panner Manchurian and Chicken manchurian. Sweets we got from Pulla reddy. The mysorepak was out of the world.
On May 26th there is an online Webinar organised by MSWA – Maharashtra Society for Welfare Associations – they brought in all our competitors. San rocked the show.

My stress levels are slowly increasing. It is raining on evenings / nights and the terrace is wet. We don’t do Angamardhana now and I am not able to dissipate the stress building up.
On an unrelated – but again stress adding thing – we are running out of our monthly home internet bandwidth. 3 more days to go and only 100GB left. We are doing too much binge watching or downloading games.
Friday is our investor call. You will read about the call in the book I will write. I have taken copious notes on what was discussed 🙂
Once the call is over, I start worrying about how it will be to bring Desire home. We are yet to decide on a name. Friday evening we write the 6 names – Coco, Koochi, Miha, Rumi, Sasha,Pi. All are kept under the beanbag. Each one picks a name and finally which over is left behind is the name of the cat.
Rumi is left behind and so Rum it is.
San and I both like Rumi. Rumi is a Sufi poet. Our dog is named Sufi – both will form a cute pair!
On Saturday morning we go pick up Rumi.
Rumi exploring our home. Just this month we installed these wire shutters to keep dengue mosquitoes out. This is the 2nd layer protection – balconies are already pigeon proofed.
She found this cosy place under the bed to sleep – where a spare bed is kept.
Cat watching mouse 🙂
Rumi snarls at Sufi. It has reduced and we are keeping both of them away for now. Sufi is very curious and is watching Rumi all the time.
Saturday night Rumi slept in Charu’s room. Rumi woke up at 12:30 AM and wanted to play. She was up for an hour.
Sunday night Rumi slept in our room. Likewise Rumi woke up at 12:30 AM and started meowing. She roamed around for sometime and apparently she slept on our bed.
So that’s the story for last week – another life has joined our home.
