Not doing right by Nisarga

Getting a “much deserved” lecture on how to stop avoiding home life and start “doing more” at home. House is a mess. I know. I should hire another maid. Can’t afford. They all have their problems with me, but still don’t want me to leave. They are large hearted. I wish they weren’t. What they… Read More »

Abgugiya

No clue what this means, but it does mean something crucially important. He keeps saying this on and off. Abgugiya and boogiya. He says like he’s identifying/recognizing something.

Introductory food
