CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SEASON - DECEMBER 2011

I thought that I should save some pictures of December 2011 for posterity - several parties, a lot of togetherness and it was a season to reconnect with friends and family - so these are random pictures of me and my family and some of our friends ... my heritage family party at home in Delhi, the visit to Hardwar for Abha's fathers birthday at Abha's brother Aloks house there, the wonderful Christmas celebration and dance and bonfire and the Christmas tree with all the presents at home in Dehradun like the good old days once more, the visit to Faridabad to Abha's sisters house and the fine very very tasty dinner at Kota House with Arvind as well as the slurp slurp dinner at Karim's in Delhi - every moment was special ... posted with love and affection to every one and wishes for a very very wonderful new year 2012

HARDWAR - THE HOLY CITY - ABHA DEEPAK VISIT APRIL 2011

And Abha's younger brother Alok - recently got promoted to Inspector General Of Police - a big feather in the cap for all of us - and we went to Hardwar where he is at present and met Abha's father - as fine and fit as ever with the same sense of humour which my brother always liked - and we also saw the new born calf to their Cow - just a few hours old it was - and my friend Vinod Kala's daughter Ritvika really went bonkers over the calf! And we had also visited Abha's sister Sadhana and her wonderful husband Ravi at their Nursing Home in Muzaffarnagar - by the way Abha was born in Muzaffarnagar and for one thing - you get terrific Kebabs there .. and thence we went on to Dehradun and had a lovely short break with Kala and Kavita - we all kept waving our hands in the air ... but that is another story ha ha
