Summer 2022
I finally made the time to write about our summer. After two years of not traveling, this summer was a welcome change. The summer went by in a jiffy – maybe I should say summer vacation because in California, summer is not over until end of October. Our summer vacation was super busy yet relaxing…

Life Updates
I cannot believe it is already the end of April. As usual I need to catch up with so many things and I barely get the time to go for a haircut on a regular basis. Sometimes I feel like it is only April and so many things already happened this year. Sanjay went on…

Happy New Year 2022
It has been more than a year since I wrote in my blog. As usual 2021 has been a very busy year. I feel like the time is just flying by and I am barely able to keep up. I took up a full time job in February of 2021. A remote job with a…

Halloween

The school campus feels so lively as it does on the first…

This is the second week of us being at home. Here is California, we have the shelter in place orders. We can only go out for groceries and emergencies. Week 1 was generally okay. Schools are closed and we are working from home. I always work from home, so that’s not new to me, but…

2019 Recap
As we come to the end of a decade, there are so many things I want to reflect on. I started my blog 10 years ago. The main reason for starting this blog was to capture the everyday moments which I might miss otherwise. I think it is safe to say that I did miss…

Summer Camp
Sarath went to a week long summer camp with the boy scouts last week. This was the first time he was away from home for that long. I think I was more nervous than him which was probably expected. It is always harder on the parents than the kids. They are out there having fun.…

Proud of Myself
As everybody knows, mid term elections this year are very important. I am not an ardent follower of politics, but I do have my opinions and I follow the news carefully. After all what happens today affects not just me or my family now, but it will affect my kids in the future as well.…
