Farah and Family Visit

Last year when I visited India, I met my school friend Rafi and his family for a dinner at their house. I found out that his neice goes to school at Northeastern University in Boston. I promised Rafi and his brother that I would pay her a visit when I returned home. Today was the day that I visited her and Rafi's son, who happened to be in Boston too.

Farah and her husband treated me to a meal fit for a king (or Raja) with real Mughlai biryani and other Indian dishes traditionally served during festivals. I enjoyed their company, and remining about my school days with their uncles, aunts and parents. Later, we took the T and ended up in Faneuil Hall, where we walked through the shops and historic landmarks. We returned to their apartment to have a cup of real Indian chai, made by Farah. It was a taste of home. It was wonderful getting to know all of them and it was such an enjoyable evening.

Nashua Trail Bike Ride

We dusted off the bikes, after the snow had melted away and the spring leaves were beginning to burst out with the promise of warm sunshine filled days, and headed for the newly expanded bike trail in Nashua, NH. We parked the car at the Tyngsborough line and rode our bikes all the way into Nashua and Hudson and back to Tyngsborough. The breath of fresh air and exhillerating scenery was a great opening to the spring/summer season. We explored downtown Pepperell and took great shots of the river, coming to life again after the long winter days.
