Puducherry Visit

Visit to Pondy

Eric and I finally took a break to Pondicherry (Puducherry). We had a great time. Mom took care of the baby while we were away.

Kamala and I in my office - April 26- 2008

My friends - Sunitha Davidar, Joanna Davidar Williams and Cheryl Chen

This picture is taken outside Isphani Center, Nungambakkam High road. I was meeting Sunitha, for the first time after she got pregnant. She is looking gorgeous as usual. This is also baby Lydia's day out. Lydia seems to be looking at all the cars around her. We all look quite satiated after a nice round of snacks. Jo and I met Cheryl after 14 years. Its wierd to meet after so many years. We suddenly realise how old we have all gotten in that time.
These pictures were taken in Sweet Chariot. We were waiting for Mike and Rachel to join us.

Some of my favorite photos - My family and My work

This will remain one of my favorite pictures my entire life. We all look so happy, especially Kamala
