Welcome fine readers. Thanks for being here.
Last week was the Kushan Yam Festival here in Harappa City. It was fine time for all. People are heading home now and only the memories remain. Several shuttles left yesterday taking people to their respective starships.
The big disappointment was the fact that Max Gavaskar was unavailable. Her health is not good and she was unable to greet visitors. Many came here to planet Kusha just for that. There is a galaxy wide malaise about the demise of the beloved Max Gavaskar. That she was even unable to see people is a huge concern. There has been hope that modern medicine would come up with something for her. Alas, that seems not to be available for our little Max.
With the festival over and Max disappearing to her private compound Harappa City is a sad place today.
Not that Max Gavaskar was ever a regular fixture in Harappa City. She was usually too busy to spend a lot of time in town. When she was on Kusha she was usually here to rest between diplomatic missions. She mostly stayed with her family and friends at the Gavaskar Compound. She would come to town and visit but it was usually a quick visit and then she would retire to her private compound. But, that was enough. It was enough for the people to know she was there. To know that Max Gavaskar, the Mother of the Galaxy, was among us was enough. It gave us hope and pride. When she makes the final journey we will be lost without her. LIfe will go on but there will be a gap in all our lives.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
