Pittaburgh Notes:(6)
Hi again. Now this seems quite a while since my last note. Life has been happening all the same-no day has gone by unnoticed & without making its presence felt! :)
Father arrived Sunday & now Prahlad is hosting the 2 of us & it sure seems right & good!! Especially the feeling that our son goes to work & we stay at home...wow, that’s when I realise just how fast the years have flown by! Prahlad is busier that ever! When he is not working on his PhD research, he is working as a teaching assistant for Grad. students at CMU & juggling in between, his role as Founder/CEO of Quant MD (Quantitative Medical Diagnostics) & managing the company's affairs, guiding the Interns who work for him, & mentoring students of the CMU Class of CS in their SW engineering studio project....& the list goes on & on! When at home he is working all the time-I actually need permission to have a discussion with him-comprising often, never more than a few words! His father is luckier-so often I resort to the via medium! Then Friday & Saturday nights, he meets up with friends which is more than fine with me-cos he so desperately needs to relax. I therefore have been filling my days, in order that I am secure with being alone, doing my own thing! Now that Narayan is here, things are surely different & I have company!
Sunday nights have been devoted to Lee, Dough & Dara-we have dined the Cheesecake factory, two Thai restaurants, Coriander India grill, Taj Mahal, Tamarind, Mint , Mercurio’s Gelato on Walnut Street & so on! Its been fun. Lunches with friends like Durga, Lee & Jayne…have added to the fun ‘n flavour!
On Saturday, 24th Sept, lunched with friends at the Point Brugge Café Inc., a European Restaurant at Hastings Street, Point Breeze. It was especially nice as there were varieties of Salad & Seafood! I enjoyed every bit of the meal & the company of Malini, Heidi, Doris, her son and fiance-we had a blast! We then went to a unique coffee shop nearby, named, hold your breath-'Make your Mark Art Space & Coffeehouse’ where we saw a Photography Show by a photographer named John Ubinger, who had just travelled to India, from the Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim to Calcutta, Delhi, Agra, Benare, & Rajasthan, for months on end. Enjoyed his frames of pictures from dewdrops on leaves magnified, to the sun rise behind the Himalayas & enchanting sunsets , while sipping my favorite Cappuccino, preferred 'not too dry'! A very interesting day-after which I rushed home, dressed appropriately and headed for the Community Centre close to home,to reach in time for the Sai Bhajans, & all ready to sing one too! So you can see, Pittsburgh is getting the best out of me!
Do check out John’s website-ubinger.com; his photography is truly worth a view.
& Guys, don’t forget to check out my pictures of the fall foliages-still my favorite part of my visit this time!
