I will not pretend that I like the hordes of people that descend upon the queen of the surburbs of Mumbai at this time. I will not pretend I like the filth, the noise, the chaos.
Ultimately though, this is home - and as anyone knows, home is the best place on earth!
Happy feast to one and all! May the mother of our Lord guide us to He who is closest to her heart!
