Boston - New Hampshire - Feb 7th to 9th 2003

We boarded ou first South West airlines flight from BWI on Friday evening. It was the first time we actually heard a pilot make jokes like 'hey - who's in the corridor there" and Welcome to Chicago..." with recorded voices saying "are we there yet are we there yet" :)

After an awesome meal - of ladies fingers, hot rotis, beans, gajjar ka halwa and an assortment of chutnies we quickly bundled up and were off to bed. Ofcourse Prasad, (artist formally known as PGD) insisted on 'packing' for the ski trip the next morning first)

Victor - our coach was a flamboyant POS but we still liked him cause he made fun of others more than us... Mazu ofcourse hugged him twice or thrice - just pretending to fall. SSSSSSIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHHHH........
Prasad started waving at us from all the way up the mountain - but luckily we didn't see him till he was all the way down and it was too late to ignore him... :)

mazu was practising going down hill and still staying vertical...

this picture is all I came for. Once it was taken - I was all ready to take off my 10 pound shoes...

here is the fantastic slope that we braved for over 2 hours...

That night we went to meet another family of two that had recently become a family of three...

Back at Prasad's house the next morning. We left for Boston after tons of super breakfast of wafer thin dosas and some great sambhar..

the view outside his balcony....

An entrance to the Harvard University campus. Most of the professors were planning to meet me at the gates with garlands...but they were on sabatical....

The library...

some guy called Harvard....people keep coming here and polishing his shoes for some reason....
One of his shoes has been touched so many times it is all shiny....
