Shri Krishna Arpanam Astu
After almost a month of intensive pilgrimages and family travel, many late nights, groggy mornings, out-of-the-regular diet regimes, and (this time around) particularly demanding children-related obligatory duties, I most gratefully slipped back into my usual (often non-negotiable) daily routine of solitude, quietude, and study.
