I think the idea was for me to pick up our car from the Ray house. Which, I did eventually. But before that, there was more wine, lots of smoke, a birthday cake and a lot of bengali “adda”

We missed our weekly meetings – I believe, three in a row. Or something like that! Met very late (by my standards, anyways) and had some fun for an hour…

… I am not exactly a night owl. But then again, with great company like that of these two, even I can stay up past midnight in the bar!

Had a great evening session with the three Mukherjees – Amitesh, Samaresh and Anindya. One of the topics we veered into was – “what new skills are you trying to learn?”.

There is a fantastic article in The Guardian on this topic of why, as adults, we should keep pushing ourselves to learn new things. If you ever get a chance, read it. And hopefully you will get inspired to start something new.

Samaresh is learning a new language – Spanish. He wants to visit Spain and talk to the locals in their language!

Here is a question for you all… what might be a new skill I should try learning? Knowing me, quirkier the idea, the more I will be attracted to it!

Anything you have tried and enjoyed learning?

Best part of the evening was 4-year old Chiku. He could spell tough, long words – mostly dinosaur related – better than I could!!

Met Shantanu and Mrinmoyee after nearly 4 years!! A lot to catch up on! Also tried Hobnob upstairs in Halcyon. A very nice environment…

This is where we used to live – way back in 1994!!
