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…

Which airport am I in? #14 in series

Well, there should not be any points for guessing this one. I cannot think of any other airport whose motto is “If the airlines did not do a good job in separating you from your money, welcome to our airport!” Which other airport has casino slot machine all over?

“You just arrived at our city to lose a lot of money in the casinos? Why not get a head start even before you can reach the baggage carousel?” Speaking of which – forget inside the airport – they have slot machines lined up AT the baggage pick up! “You got your luggage? Why bother going to the hotel? Start losing money, right now, right here!!”

The real funny part? People are actually playing at these machines!! With a beer in hand too!!!
