Literary jaunt



Sheena, Vijay's wife, invited us to an event at ICC to hear Shashi Tharoor being interviewed. It was fascinating. Not only a great and brilliant writer, he is an eloquent speaker. It was a real treat. I recorded a couple of sound clips from his interview and have posted them below....parts of it are hard to understand. I have almost all his books, so now i'll have to make it a point to read them as soon as time permits. I got a copy of his latest book "Bookless in Baghdad" and had it signed by him, thought Gautam would like it. We also got to see the community center that Sheena has been working so hard on the past 2-3 years. It is an amazing place for the Indian community here in the Bay area to come together at. R and I were amazed at how many people were there taking advantage of the programs and events it had to offer. Nice job Sheena!
11.30 pm - Afternoon we dropped by Geetha's place and hung out there for a while. Saiesh is all grown up now....yet another sign that i am a year older too :-( The rest of the evening was spent at Nimmu C's place. We got back to Los Altos around 9.30 and played a couple of rounds of Clue with Trisha and Kyle. That was lots of fun. The last time we played Clue was probably about ten or twelve years ago with Gautam...
