Mamli & Bablu's Birthday Party – March 22, 2009

Mamli & Bablu celebrated their 10th and 5th birthdays respectively with a small party at home. And this is the first time they didn't have home made cakes for their birthday parties. Mamli no longer has girls her age in our apartment complex. All her old friends have moved away, either out of Hyderabad or to other areas in the city. She had a class mate a good friend as her only "friend" in the party. On the other hand Bablu has tons of boys his age. He had a whole horde of squealing boys over. They practically brought the house down :-)

We also had Anu Das, an old friend from Rourkela, visit us today. Anu arrived before lunch and stayed till the end of the party.

A few photographs (see the full album on Mo Chitra, our family photo gallery):

Gautam, Padmaja & Rohan – circa 1998 (After Marriage)

My latest project is scanning old photographs to upload to my photo site, Mo Chitra. I found the photo below in a stack at Bhubaneswar. It was taken by my father-in-law, Sudhakar Padhi in March 1998 near Rourkela.

I am on the left of Padmaja, with Rohan, my brother-in-law, on her right. I just can't believe how skinny we all were :-)
