From Dana

Today Raji has come from Delhi. We are all very excited. Aishwarya has come from the U. S. She had a wonderful time visiting family in Chicago. She is already to go back to the university. We are all shocked and delighted to see how much Raji has changed. She has cut her hair (it's adorable). She came in jeans and a beautiful pink blouse and very cool sunglasses.
Last night Ramesh, Lakshmi, Raju, Dana, Aishwarya, Suji, Sandya, Sanjay and Vijay went to a mall called Mayajaal in ECR (East Coast road). We were snowballing (bowling). Most everyone got gutterballs, but we had loads of fun. Then we were off to play arcade games. Everyone got pencils for prizes. Later we went to the Fisherman's Cove (Taj) in Muttukadu, where we spent time watching a man make glass figurines. Sanjay bought one for Erin and one for Alyce and one for Sandya. We had a wonderful dinner there. We met a woman who works for the New York Times. She was from New York City. We had a nice conversation. Just as we were leaving Ramesh arranged for a golf cart ride through the resort and down to the beach. They had a bonfire going. It was just beautiful. Sanjay and Sandya fell sound asleep in the car. We got home very late about midnight. It was great fun! How can we forget this afternoon we made pakoras, yum. Raji brought wonderful gifts for everyone and lots of treats to eat, jelabee, samosa, chips, juice, and ,of course, grilled cheese.
