I have not been able to stump Danny with even one geography question yet!

At Central City Tavern in downtown Alpharetta. I knew Sharmila was meeting Mrinal-da and Seemita-di. When I walked up an hour later, seemed like Dipanjan and Parijat had joined in too! More, the merrier!!

Apparently, all my disgust after licking a bar of soap as a young toddler was misplaced. Sharmila and Parijat ordered a drink and after the drink was prepared, the bartender put a bubble on it!! Using a bubble maker and something called “edible soap”!!

Hmmm… seems like I need to try this at home!

(In case you were wondering, by the time I could take the picture, Sharmila’s bubble had burst. Literally speaking.)

Brad is an amazing manager at Roam Lenox. That I was aware of.

What I did not realize is how skilled he is in making cappuccino art. He even gave some great tips!!

She finally switched her brand loyalty

There are very few things as delightful to me as having a breakfast with this much decorated Lieutenant General. Most of our time was spent discussing geopolitics – from the two conflagrations in the Middle East to the Ukraine war which the American psyche seems to have already forgotten and the cooling down of the sabre rattling between China and America. We also exchanged points of views on where America is headed in the global stage what kind of America our kids are likely to see when they get to our age!

Given his service across all the continents, there is always new angles and nuances I pick up in geopolitics that otherwise would have escaped me.

Can’t wait to come back and have another couple of hours with him again!
