Actually, physically distanced. Socially close.

Thank you Parijat, Dipanjan, Sudakshina and Anindya. I am not sure what debate you folks were having but after you left, Sharmila broke three glasses – she was so mad 🙂 You have to ask her about it 🙂 🙂

Great evening with Shrabani, Priti, Rakesh and Avi.

Joyita and Murali joined us. Also got to see Ashley this time – now she is the manager of our favorite lake side restaurant!

We had our socially-distanced friends (technically, I believe, socially-close but physically-distanced) Rakesh Rao and Priti Rao join us. The lake was beautiful. Although, all of a sudden the clouds came over and the wind felt much cooler than the temperatures on the thermometer would read. It was a rare lakeside trip in the sense, after a long time, we did not meet Ashley Finley. It was her day off!

Nonetheless, had a blast with the Raos.

Last evening, during drinks with Rakesh, Bani, Priti and Avi, somehow the discussions veered towards life, priorities and all those stuff. Avi is taking a break from work – so we were justifiably excited about his adventurous plans.

At one point of time, I mentioned that there is an exact metric to judge how much work we did not have to do in life. And that is the bank balance you will leave behind when you die.

Priti, very thoughtfully, came up with what I thought was a memorable way to put the same sentiment… “Your last check should bounce” 🙂 🙂

Thanks to Shubu.
Enjoyed it a lot

This summer, the Roy family has been all over the place. Only our dog Jay Jay has stayed in Atlanta. Everybody else seems to be on the road. This is the picture of where the various Roy family members have slept – just in the month of July!!
