Tax day

7 mile run at 9 min/mile. Then over ate for lunch. Now for a little wine and sleep in the sun by the pool. Would have been a picture perfect Bengali New Year had it not been for the taxes I have to file and pay today 🙁

Take that Garmin

This is why women should not complain about men not asking for directions. As we were walking on a downtown street to visit a gallery where Sharmila’s friend’s paintings were on display, I checked my iPhone maps and told her we were headed the wrong way. She looked up and said – “No. All the Indians are coming from this street. We are headed the right way”. That’s how she judges directions!!! Garmin and Tom Tom has nothing on my wife. (and yes, she was wrong 🙂 )

Mangsho missing

Pool filters cleaned, hot tub filters cleaned, car washed and cleaned. Exhausted, dozing off by the pool with Bengali “adhunik” songs on… like the lazy Sunday afternoons of childhood days (“adhunik gaaner anurodher asar”). One thing missing though – the aroma of “pnathar mangsho” (goat meat) cooking wafting from every Bengali household..
