Rema and Sanjay! The first couple in the US that we were introduced to when we came here. Ever since, they have always been a big part of our lives. In fact, they were the first friends who had seen Natasha after she was born. They had flown to Dallas to see the first baby for either of us.

Sanjay, the busy bee, spent one whole afternoon assembling a barbecue that I had ordered, all by himself as the three of us were scratching our heads on what to do with the small baby.

We try to see them whenever we are in south Florida. I have not seen much of ageing in either of them.

We had gotten married and I immediately flew to the US to join my job. She went back to her college and finished her last month and flew to Fort Lauderdale. This was the apartment – marked 525 – where we finally put our anchors down.

Visited the old apartment complex and the apartment while in Fort Lauderdale area today.

At first glance, I thought a school bus had unfortunately waded into the waters. Then I realized it is a boat (touring boat) in the Intercoastal !!

In a bit of culture whiplash, Akshay and we went straight from the vintage motorcycle show to a modern art gallery!

This is what her dad used to ride in Durgapur.

Lambretta was the brand of scooter that my best friend – Avijit’s dad in Durgapur had. Which means he and I took quite a few spins on it. Took a pose with the scooter and sent it to my friend who now lives in Perth, Australia.

Coincidentally, we had gone to this show last year too! There were motorcycles as far as the eyes could see.
