#OhBoy made this as part of the Peace Week celebrations at this school. He had recently picked up a book on Gandhi in the Little People, Big Dream series, and the thoughts in it had made him think like this!

A week ago the Embassy of India in Cairo, #Egypt, organized a cultural evening called Kathak Sandhya. Here are some pictures from that evening.

#OhBoy recently turned 6 and he got his long awaited bicycle.

We started with training wheels. But the Internet and Claude mentioned that it was not the best way.

So we removed the training wheels and pedals, and used the bike as ... https://jrr.digital/2025/07/05/ohboy-recently-turned-and-he.html

From the first glimpses of Tanzania, both from the plane and the ride to hotel, is that it is sooooo green! Damn I am so going to miss this when I am back in Cairo next week!

6 years ago when #OhBoy was about to be born I bought a new phone — iPhone XR.

Now I finally got to update it to IPhone 16 Pro. Just in time for the Kilimanjaro trek!

Packing for Kilimanjaro

Next week, I’m finally heading to Kilimanjaro. We’re taking on the 8-day Lemosho route, and I’m both excited and nervous about what lies ahead.

I’ll do my best to post updates along the way if network... https://jrr.digital/2025/06/05/packing-for-kilimanjaro-next-week.html

Last weekend I had to skip my usual practice hike since we were hosting
guests. So instead of my weekend routine, I decided to head out for an
evening weekday hike — and I'm so glad I did.

I had the entire Wadi Degla completely to myself.... https://jrr.digital/2025/05/30/last-weekend-i-had-to.html

This week mom had her birthday and we had planned a dinner with a view of the pyramids. We were then invited to a dinner that the new ambassador was hosting for a colleague who was leaving Cairo. We tried to excuse ourselves, but upon insi... https://jrr.digital/2025/05/29/this-week-mom-had-her.html

It is a school holiday here today, due to a dust storm prediction. #OhBoy is having a good time lazing around reading books, eating ice cream and playing with this toys. The latest book that has caught his fascination is Gaving Aung Than’s Zen Pencils: Cartoon Quotes from Inspirational Folks

Last weekend, a bunch of women officers from the Embassy of India in
Cairo joined us in our weekly hike of Wadi Degla. Lots of
fun conversations and chats along the way. Here is all of them after the
hike.

Hardly a month passed by, #OhBoy came back from school a week ago with another tooth that fell off during lunch.

After my Merrel Glove gave in, I have been on the lookout for another barefoot walking/running shoe. Finally narrowed in on Xero HFS II and got it last month. I am absolutely enjoying them.

Last week got to do a 10k run at Wadi Degla that was organised by Ultra Ibex.

I stopped running more than a decade ago due to lower back pain. And then the disc tear in 2022 happened. With a lot of rehab and support from the coaches at The ... https://jrr.digital/2025/02/25/last-week-got-to-do.html

Feels like yesterday when #OhBoy was teething and he would be itching to gnaw at things. And now he had first teeth fall off. They grow up so fast!

When we moved to Cairo and were in the processing of settling down and we would want to wind down with some TV series that would take our brain off the crazy days we were having. That is when I came across ... https://jrr.digital/2025/01/18/the-rookie-netflix-when-we.html

We had our first feel of the rain showers in #Cairo yesterday and there was a rainbow too!

Of the local Egyptian dishes we have tried so far, we love their flat bread Aish Baladi, stewed fava beans Ful Medames and Hawashi.

Hawashi is pita bread stuffed with minced meat and grilled or pan fried. The meat was juicy and tasted just yum. The Tahini they served was the perfect dipping sauce!

Finally after being here in Egypt for 3 weeks, we got some breathing time this weekend to go around sightseeing in Cairo. And what better way to start than a boat ride on the Nile.

We went to the eastern bank of the Nile and entered the pro... https://jrr.digital/2024/10/27/finally-after-being.html
