The inimitable Pauls

Pratyush and I go back a long way. He must be the person with whom I have lived in the same city the most number of times… Durgapur, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and Dallas! The last time I visited them, which was another wedding-related trip to Dallas, this time for their own son, we obviously didn’t get a chance to have a good “adda”. This time, we made up for that!

This is when you know you have grown old

Everyone fished out their iPhones from their pockets and purses as if it were an episode of synchronized swimming. Not to make calls or send texts – that would be too disrespectful. But for that other reason, Steve Jobs never thought about… reading menus 🙂

That said, I would not grow old with any other set of friends!
