Quiet Existence

It's been almost half a year since our next door neighbours moved in but I haven't had a glimpse of them yet. It's not that I'm eager to socialize but it's a bit unusual even by my standards. All I see is two garbage bins outside every morning, that's all. The last time we had such quiet neighbours was in 2009 and they turned out to be two drug peddlers from Goa, who got arrested subsequently. Of course the current ones may not be so diverse.

The school construction is happening furiously and I'll be so glad to see it done. I've forgotten how it feels to have a quiet afternoon!

The flower that wasn't!
