What a difference a couple of weeks make. We are now very comfortably installed in the Bishop's Guest House, just next door to his house, at the bottom end of Mahatma Ghandi Road. Not too many supermarkets or historic sights very near, but we have enough for our needs. We are both getting good practice at cooking curries. JG is helping out at Arpana, a school for mentally handicapped children, leading up to vocational training for young adults. PG is in the Diocesan office, doing spreadsheets for the church accounts, and planning teaching pastors in initial computer use up to how to use the accounts spreadsheet he has drawn up.
We went to see Slumdog Millionaire at the cinema last night; very gripping, but we could see why it caused such an uproar in India. There wasn't a lot of good news in it, and it did show the rough underside of a very urban civilisation; Sao Paulo could have just as bad slums. But the goodie triumphed in the end.
