Cousins having a gala time in the park adjoining my dad’s house…

Me and my siblings with our significant others. After a long time together. With a bottle of wine. And a lifetime of memories. And a whole evening full of laughter…

This is what happened to me at the hands of my nephews and niece within ten minutes of landing at my dad and sister’s place!!

Stopped on the road with my brother’s family to give Sharmila, Natasha and Nikita an experience of eating at “roadside dhaba”. We had papad and tea only. Can’t take too many chances of getting stomach virus….
