Outing with IMT Alums

 Met two IMT alums for a fun evening. Abha and I have met a few times in Mumbai too. Ananya, I met a year ago at her place. This time, both made it to CP.

Above, we smile for the camera.. Ananya Nandi De and Abha Kulkarni.

Below, some fun with Ananya.

Random Stuff-Here and There

 Just a collection of random clicks from here and there- last few months..

Meeting Old Friends

 I mean young friends, actually. I met Abha first at her wedding, in Nagpur. We formed a Mutual Admiration Society pretty quickly, and have been meeting regularly, through changes of job and cities of residence. So it was no surprise that we met again, last day of Feb. 2023. The first meeting, Tosha Dubey was with her, and the next, a large group that also included Sirisha Adi and Anuj Mathew- then, two meetings with Sheetal Garg in the threesome, at Koylaa near Taj and at Prithvi theatre, Juhu.

The latest one in Nehru Place. We found a lot to talk about, as usual. Pics- 

The Brazilian lemonade had a charred Rosemary sprig added. Basil was added to the other drink.

The lanterns were quite nice!

The place and food too- mostly Italian.

P.S. She's a student I never taught, from IMT Nagpur.. could be one reason she likes me. :)

Meeting Sheetal and Abha from IMT

 We have had some meetups (IMT students and I) at different places on multiple occasions. So this was a continuation, of sorts. Sheetal and Abha are both talented and accomplished ex-students that I never taught in a class, but maybe have learnt from by just talking to them. We meet when we can, and chat about everything under the Sun. This was at the iconic Prithvi theatre yesterday, after a Covid-induced hiatus. Some pics-
