Ramadan Celebration
This year too during Ramadan, I had hosted an iftar dinner on June 5th for Delaware’s Muslims and other faith community members. I can’t describe the pleasure and honor I felt when a few local Turkish community’s children present amid 400 odd attendees suddenly came over to present me a gift. Not for iftar hosting. Something else. The gift’s richness for me was, and, is in the sweet and innocent gesture in which it was presented.
Visit to Bikaji Cama Place in New Delhi
After my computer engineering in 1992, my first job was in Bikaji Cama Place in New Delhi. Right next to Hyatt Regency — the luxurious five-star hotel, one of capital’s status symbols, at least so it was then.
With $32/month salary, I was struggling to eat, live and survive those days. Nevertheless, I always looked desirously at the hotel every day while waiting for DTC. I always wondered what needs to be done to be able to go in the hotel in a chauffeur driven car just like the people I enviously watched going in. Finally, I did it. This time we stayed here while in Delhi for three nights. And what a pleasure it was to meet my dear friend Geeta, Rohit and their children who drove all the way from Greater Noida. Not only that, they even hosted us for drinks and dinner in the hotel. Thanks, Dear Khannas!
Visit to Ghalib’s haveli heritage in Old Delhi
A couple of days back, I visited Ghalib’s haveli heritage in Old Delhi with Renu and kids. I wish they maintained the place better. It doesn’t match or reflect the man or the poet the great Ghalib Sahib was.
