Then my brother, bhabhi, and his family are in India. My in-laws and my sis-in law are in India. My cousin sis Mandy and my maami are also in India.. all in all no family in the US.

Ritu, me, and Ruchi, Feb 2009, way back in the day |
My friend Miz, is in London, has always been there! I think I have not seen her in over 5-7 years...
Another (friend) Debo, is in India. I use friends within parentheses, because I don't know where we stand as of today!
A friend Harju, was in US, but she moved to India. Then one of my closest friends is in Florida, same country but different time zones :( and thousands of miles away...we talk for hours on phone and always complain wish we lived closer so that we could just grab each other and enjoy small things like shopping, trip to farmers market, beach walks and much more...and her Mother, my fav. aunty is also in India :((

Uma Aunty and me in India, Dec 2010 |
Tina and me in Florida, May 2012 |
Then some of my other friends like Rituparna and DD, who recently moved to the US, are not anywhere close to LA.
Last but not the least, my office is also 85 miles down South, which makes it difficult for me to spend time with some of my work friends like Christine B.,and Dre or develop new friendships with some others like KT, Teresa, E. Ireland, and a few others...
My American Mom Katherine and a very very good friend from HP days are in Portland area... :(

and others like Indu bhabhi and Malvika, who I would like to know more but one is in Texas and the other one in Germany! And others like Richa, Jhumy, and Chhavi, with whom I was able to spend only a few months...may be more in the future....
Shivani ji, me, Chhavi, and Jhumy, and the one who has been cropped! :), 2009 |
But before that, I am thankful to select girlfriends I have here like Soudeh, Suzy, and Patty.., my teacher sangeeta maam, who lives in Redding, and all the guy+friends in Irvine..Dont know what would I do without all of you ::) and to all my other friends (guys) they know who they are.. may be one day I will write about you!
Soudeh and me 2009, she still looks the same, while you know how I look |
Last disclaimer - I for sure have forgotten to mention a couple few, but please know that it is not intentional... This space is too short to mention everyone who touched my life!
And to those, I say, please don't shy away from giving me a piece of your mind in the comments below. I deserve it.. :)
