Seeing beyond…

Last evening, we all got ready for dinner and were waiting for the elevator when I turned around and realized that all the four teenagers – who had suddenly gotten quiet – were spontaneously doing the same thing.

All of them were looking out into the horizon, deep in some thoughts… perhaps wondering what is in store for their own horizons…

Bees Saal Baad…

(Twenty years later)

Almost to the day, twenty years back, the two Roy families got to know each other in Dallas. After we left Dallas, the families get together one every year in one of the houses and once every other in another city or country to vacation together…

Someday, I should put together an album of the four kids getting together…

I wish I could spend some more time with this guy…

Magesh and I have crossed paths multiple times in life – we were in the same engineering college, we have worked in the same company once and we have now lived in the same city twice. In fact, I see him often now since we work out of the same executive office facilities.

Once in a while, we get a chance to grab a drink in the evening. And those meetings are invariably invigorating for the few grey cells that I have left. I remember, a year back having a beer with him and arguing about how to prove which is bigger – e to the power pi or pi to the power e.

Today’s long friendly banter was around whether time is a fundamental concept (he supported this) or an imaginary concept (supported by me). Debating with Magesh is always about learning how smart people like he thinks… I got some great lessons today…
