I know what you’re thinking. We’ve been living it up at Revel, chowing down on tacos and Vietnamese food, lounging by the pool, cozying up with hot cocoa and tiramisu as we play Bonopoly (as Kavya likes to call it)….
Our Last Christmas As A Trio in Atlantic City!
It’s been a few years since we’ve stayed on our home turf for Christmas. Last year, we were in California visiting my parents and a heap of cousins from India, who insisted on doing every tradition we knew about Christmas….
The Paranoid Traveller’s Data Backup Strategy
A few days after me and Sona returned from our six month honeymoon to India in 2007, our hard drive – a bulky Maxtor 350GB – failed, making that dreaded click of death. Data recovery experts quoted prices of $1500, which…
Sunday Funday: Snow and Pepperoni: A Classic Winter Dish!
Kavya insisted on going outside this morning to “investigate” the snow falling outside. She hadn’t eaten breakfast, and grabbed a couple slices of pepperoni from the kitchen table before hoisting herself up onto my shoulders, creating an interesting dish –…
Jet Lag is Stupid And Other Helpful Advice When Traveling With A Little Human
We took Kavya on her first visit to California when she was a little over three months old, to Hawaii when she was under 2, and she’s always adapted to the local time pretty quickly. She sees sunlight and is down…

Photo Friday: Kavya, the Professional Traveller
Kavya is no stranger to the world of airports, security checks, and yes she carries her own bag. The blanket is someone else’s responsibility though. She ain’t no mule.

Date Night in Union Square, Where We Discover the Lost Art of Sitting Down and Doing Nothing

Foto Friday: Lucy, the Elephant’s Bum Everyone!
Over the summer, we were driving up to Atlantic City one weekend to go hang out at the beach and eat some epic Pho when Kavya started talking about bottoms. I don’t know what they’re teaching her at this daycare…
Foto Friday: Tantrum Contest!
Kavya decided to throw a wobbly at bedtime, so being the excellent Papa that I am, I decided to document how much better at it I am. Unfortunately, she lasted much longer than I did. You be the judge. Who…
The Most Delicious Crepes At Le Bilig, a Tiny Creperie in Quebec!
Many years ago, Sona went to a South Indian restaurant in New York City during her lunch break, and ordered the Paper Dosa. The woman asked Sona if she was alone, and cautioned her against ordering the dish, but Sona…
Foto Friday: My, What Lovely Teeth You Have . . .
While I’d like to say no grandmothers or little girls were eaten in the making of this photograph, that would be an exaggeration. We also somehow managed to eat a dragon, who suddenly appeared on the way to grandma’s house….
