Last week, my friend Roger Whitney said something that made a big impression on me. He said, “you make your wealth by working. You invest to protect the wealth.” Implication being if you are trying to be rich from your investments, better make that your full time job!! — withRoger Whitney at Key Bridge Marriott.
First time I have run with two generations in the same family. 5 mile run with Rish (13 years age) today. Ran the half marathon with his mom Mita (of classified age :-)) in Dallas two years back. Rish plays football, basketball and track for his school (12 sec 100 yard dash). Probably explains why instead of my extra hot latte, I am having a caramel frapuccino with him at Starbucks 😉 — with Rish Basu and Mita Basu at Starbucks 9830.
That was a great end to the evening. Surprise dinner with the Mukherjees to celebrate Anusuya’s birthday. A few jokes, a few songs, a little wine, some Bengali “mishti” but a lot of “adda” … that was perfect!!! — with Amitesh Mukherjee
