The people who have been helping us stay healthy and be well-cared for

Just about every day we do a daily run to get fresh fruit and veggies from one of the nearby markets or produce stands.  The market (above) generally has a wide variety of delicious produce.

OM SUPER MARKET delivers purified water to our apartment. It is a basic storefront and while it looks small at first glance, it stocks an incredible number of items from floor to ceiling which are not available at the fruit and vegetable market.  We ask for whatever we need at the front window and an employee brings it to us. 

OM SUPER MARKET is also a well-known location that happens to be a 5 or 10 minute walk from our apartment.  Since streets are not well marked, it's easiest to tell rickshaw drivers to take us near OM SUPER MARKET when we're trying to get home, and then we just direct them the rest of the way. 

L-R:  Manisha, our cook, and Sangita, her sister-in-law who helps her.  This is Manisha's first job outside of her home, and we are delighted to come home each day to her delicious meals.

While Pune can be a rather dusty city, our apartment is somewhat protected because of the amount of vegetation around it.  Still the landlord has Sujata, a delightful young woman, clean the floors and bathrooms three times a week.
