A New Indiapapa

About a month ago, the first of indiamama’s replacements (there are two), Michele, came to Chennai to start her work on the project. Accompanying her were her husband Ziyad and two daughters, Nadia (3) and Zayna (1). Ziyad had been working as a public defender in Boston a number of years and decided to go on-leave to support his wife and take up the mantle of full-time papa for the next year and a half. They’ve moved in across the street from us and Kaia and I couldn’t be more pleased to have new friends to join us in this experience here. We’ll miss them once we move on, but are glad that we’ve had these couple of months to get to know each other.

Why I Love this Time: New friends sharing similar challenges.
