Went to meet an old friend
Ashley and we got to know each other during the Covid days when we would drive to Pig Tales and sit by the lake side. Most of the time, she would get us the food and drink. We got to know her and her family very well. She was going to get married to Mark in October that year if I remember correctly. I still have the picture of the wedding dress she had picked and sent to Sharmila and myself.
Lot has changed since the Covid days. She is now happily married to Mark. The sons have grown up so much. And she works now in Twisted Oar. Which is where we drove the boat to meet her!

How Not To Present Yourself
I seem to attract more than my fair share of LinkedIn requests from folks who describe themselves as “visionary”. I wonder if one were to do reference calls on them, how many would use that word to describe them.
What do you think? Can one call oneself “visionary”? (that too in a public forum?). Shouldn’t one wait for others to call them “visionary”? Considering oneself “visionary” seems to be merely hallucinating.

Letter writing – sitting in our balcony
Of course, letter writing for me is as much about writing with a fountain pen as much as it is about the pyrotechnics that follow it!!
Which reminds me – I got into sealing with wax after visiting the Dallas Fountain Pen Show last year. This year, in the Atlanta Pen Show, there was not even a single person selling the wax seal stuff!

The best and the strongest
The ride of life is unpredictable. The best laid plans of mice and men are but to humor Fate. Yet, those who bounce back from the vagaries of luck are but the best and the strongest.
It was so great to see two of the best and the strongest today over a quick lunch and then chat under the shade of aa tree in the parking lot – Atashi and her daughter Ira. I do not want to assume for once that pain of any bereavement ever goes away; but I salute those who pick up their broken pieces and move forward with the single minded determination of making the most of what we are given in life.
