Load of Concrete

Finally some authentic drama and action! I was working in the settlement office when I receiveda phobe call from Subramanya in Mysore. I had forgotten my mobile at home and Anna had called him to say that I urgently needed to come back to the house. I borrowed Thinleys Yamaha bike and speeded across the settlement thinking soemthing had happened to the kids. I and found them playing and safe but the house had a big hole in the roof. The Kangtsen (monk fraternity) next door is building a 4 floor builing 50 cm from our house and the Indian workers had managed to drop a load of concrete blocs off the 4th floor. They went through the roof and smashed Tenzin's bed in pieces. Luckily these house are simple constructions and the roof was fixed in a couple of hours. Tenzin got a new bed as well and it was an opportunity to clean his room thoroughly. Still, it could have been much more serious if the concrete had hit the next room where the kids often sit with the computer. Got to stay away from that side of the house during daytime. Tenzin, who was out at the time of impact, was pretty stressed out by the incident but settled down after dinner.
