But why?

In the Airtrain in New York that takes you from terminal to terminal. These are automated. No driver. So why the wiper on the windshield? Who is it supposed to help see the track in front?

Heading out to India again….

It has been a long long time that I have gone to India by myself. Also so soon after the last trip. Dad is not doing well after surgery and mom seems to showing early signs of relapse πŸ™ Hope to see them for a few days and also my brother and sister who are bearing the brunt of all the parental caregiving.

I will miss most having wine with Sharmila every evening while there. And the kids and her for New Year’s Eve πŸ™

Will be a bitter sweet trip….

Gallo Pinto!

Had traditional Costa Rican breakfast today – Gallo Pinto! It is basically a lot of rice and beans cooked together. Had with fried plantains, potato dish and stir fry vegetables. Rough translation of Gallo Pinto is “Indian lunch” πŸ™‚ I was ready to go back to sleep after eating breakfast!! This also explains why Costa Rica is always adjudged the happiest country in the world πŸ™‚
