belated Year end Update

 So the year 2015 is full of new beginnings. 
 
 But before that 2014 had not been very kind to us as much as I had hoped. 
 
 As a family - We lost my Nani and Nana in a space of five months. 
 One on 1st jan and the other in 28th July. 
 While Nani was suffering from illness I am still under shock about Nana. Didn't expect him to go away so suddenly. 
 
 Work wise the year was full of travels for both hubby and me and we also did manage a couple of holidays including Singapore and Coonoor. 
I also managed to take a break in December to oversee the renovation of our home. 

 Well so we ended the year feeling happy poor! 

> Especially after the inclusion of a library!

I also managed three publications with Mango Chutney, mathematics Fun fact and fictionhttp://www.mangobooks.net/book_details/8345/mathematics_fun,_facts_and_fiction

and folk tales from around the world.
