Immigration at Toronto
About a year back, late one night I was sleepy and was relieved to finally get my turn at the immigration counter. I thought I would be done in 60 seconds and off to the hotel I would go to sleep. And it was almost the case till I answered the officer’s answer on where I work. It was a five minute tirade on how allegedly we have messed up her credit. Finally, I was able to explain to her that we merely report what she has done – we don’t change anything. But I did promise to have our team in the country look at her case.
Today, as I was trying to breeze thru immigration, the officer (different one) chatted me up. Found out he worked in our company 5 years before I joined!! Left once his unit was sold off! Had great things to say about his old friends. Nice guy!!
Funny part – it is the same airport!! Toronto!!
Kids and friends
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.

July 4 race with Sunil
5K race at Woodstock with my friend of 15 years Sunil Roy. Thanks Sunil for coming all the way from Texas to run with me. — with Sunil Roy at Main Street Woodstock.
16th Woodstock Freedom Run
It appears that I have not run a race for a full 1 year. I am not sure about it. I might have forgotten to post some of the races. In any case, like every year, I went to run the July 4th Freedom Run in Woodstock this year. I also had my close friend from Dallas Sunil Roy who was visiting us with his family join us!!
By my clock I posted 24min 15 secs but took quite some time to get to the starting line. The usual festivities and celebrations were there. Sunil and I hung around for a little while as we enjoyed the crowd.
