Smokies – Roys and Haldars

This summer we were fortunate enough to host a lot of our friends at our place. In July, the Haldars and the Roys visited us from Dallas. We spent a couple of days in the Smoky Mountains with them. These are some video clippings from the trip – specially the trek to the Laurel Waterfalls

Poila Boisakh 2008

Natasha’s dance at the Poila Baisakh (New Year) Festival in Atlanta in April, 2008. Bengalis celebrate their New Year around mid April every year.

This was Tasha’s second dance in Atlanta. She and her friends were tutored and the choreography done by Ruchi Lodh. The beautiful pictures during the credits in the beginning and the end were taken by my highly talented photographer friend Samaresh.

Giant leap for mankind

This is my friend Debjyoti from Atlanta. He is one of the most fun guys I have ever come across. The true epitome of “bindas”, as Bengalis will say. You are guaranteed never to have a dull moment with him around. If you ever meet him, ask him about his experience about being a DJ and I will rest my case. Also, if you do meet him, call him “DJ” or his preferred way – “Raja”.

A die-hard Giants fan, his antics during the Super Bowl kept all of us entertained. He certainly had the last laugh as Giants stunned the Patriots.
