Max's 10th Birthday today! Time has flown by, it really doesn't seem like yesterday that he was born, I remember the day vividly. A very simple birthday, a few cards and a few small presents, although Max being Max he was happy with his lot and I think he had a good day. Finished off with Sheppards Pie, Jelly and Ice cream and his friend Libby came round to join in. So proud of all he has coped with coming to India and all he has given up to be part of this family experience, he really is a superstar.
Another momentus day for other reasons too - after more than 60 years a land dispute (3 acres!) was settled in the Indian High Court by 3 Judges ( as mentioned in yesterdays blog). The purpose of raising this again is that the judgement effectively will chop the land into 3 pieces to satisify each religous party. Sounds like a political outcome, especially as the CWG are due to kick off this weekend and India could ill afford riots and bloodshed about this, as they did in 1992/3. In the lead up to the verdict there were some funny tweets flying about including one who though that Paul the Octopus should have decided the outcome, another who said that at the end of the day all the middle class care about is that they got a free day off work - sad but true and that they should build a Chinese resturant at the Ayodhya site and call it Kik in the Kok!
