Memories..

BIL sent me an old picture while cleaning up his stuff from 2008.. 

It was a keeper! While the background distracts you, the smile on our faces is priceless!

Spent a few minutes in CS5 to get this one.. 

Wish to bundle her up like that now! 

See what I mean by they are growing up sooo fast?!

Thanks to my BIL for saving old pictures. Have purchased a negative scanner as my Christmas gift, thanks to Costcos 24 deals of Christmas in 24 days.. Have literally 1000's of negatives from 1989 to 2002 in India and in my closet. Can scan a lot of those before the film starts to decay! That should be a fun Christmas project to try and set up.

Caricatures continue..

One more year rolls by.. the IBM Childrens Christmas party was today. Daddy Narayanan did not go for the first time in 6 years but San took the kids and got the Caricatures done by Big Al.. This has become a family tradition now and has survived six years! Guess we can go as long as they are still considered kids..

They did have fun taking pictures with Santa, face painting etc. etc.. but for once Daddy has to beg Mommy for photos to put in the blog..

Leaving you with the sequence for now..

My cute babies are growing into pretty young ladies! Why? Why? Why? What is the rush? 

Missed the party because the entire day was spent in the Yoga room. Yes, entire day from 9:15 to 7:30 for a special event where a world famous Yogi came and gave us pointers to improve our postures to a small group of people at BikramYogaSanJose. It was enlightening and deserves a separate post!

The season is here.. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

More on the mystery of how women choose men?

If you have been reading this blog long enough... posted "this" way back in 2007. Little has changed except said Ferrari is now married and we dont see too many photos of his wife in white salwars.. that is a sidebar discussion.

Back to the main theme.. do women choose men because they resemble some early version of their dad.. A version they have of their dad when they were toddlers and consider that the "best possible version of a guy"?

The research is still ongoing. This morning, I went to pick up FIL who arrived from India at SFO. It was hilarious to see him walk out in the same shirt I was wearing. So had to take this picture after coming home!

Yes, my shirt is faded thanks to all the chemicals in the Cupertino water and his shirt still retained a lot of the original color.. but we look like two people who could have played Benjamin Button!

His memory is not that good now. We both got the shirts gifted by my co-brothers dad in Australia a good 8 years ago. It is absolutely cozy and is one of my favorite airplane and rainy day shirts. Apparently FIL likes it for the same reason!

This is scary ladies!
