Novel flight experience. We went to the tarmac and as we got ready to roll on to the live runway, the pilot announced that they have canceled our flight!! That’s a first time! Back to the gate now! — at I’m on a plane!
Smaller ironies of life: our United Airlines pilot announced on the PA that we will arrive at Gate DELTA 18 🙂 — atWashington-Dulles, Virginia.
The Roy kids – friends from the time they were born – at Salty Dog Cafe! — with Adreesh Roy and 2 others at The Salty Dog Cafe.
Taking random pictures out of sheer boredom. The other seven in the party are busy shopping at the Outlet Mall. — with Sharmila Roy and 3 others at Hilton Head Tanger.
Half way to dropping Tasha at Duke University. She has packed more luggage than the whole family packed for the whole India trip for the same time!! Why do girls pack their entire life when they go somewhere? — at Paco’s Tacos & Tequila.
While in India, dug up this gem – my first grade report card!! Note the teacher’s advise on improving my handwriting 🙂 Subsequently, thru the years, other teachers added a few more things for me to improve on… and then the wife came along and added a whole lot more to the list 🙂 but my handwriting never quite improved 🙂 The crowning ignominy was in eighth grade, when my teacher demanded that I practice one page of handwriting every day during summer vacation. I finished the whole assignment in the last two days of vacation. You can only imagine the output 🙂 Much later in life, inspired by my friend Aditya Garg, I picked up calligraphy and went back to fountain pens!! Oh! The irony!!! 🙂
