A little bit of randomness

It always amuses me when apparently random things occur. Like for example when my friends Deepti, Jen and Kimberly all came to Bombay one weekend and we had a mini grad school reunion. By pure chance Deepti and I moved to India at the same time but for different reasons, and ended in two different cities. Jennifer who had been working in Mongolia ended her stint there and decided to pop into India as a transition back to the civilized world. Kimberly had been sent as a consultant to India and ended in the same city that Deepti was living in. All a matter of chance of course.

Well since we are never ones to take fate for granted, we decided to congregate in Mumbai and celebrate life's little coincedence. These are Jen's pictures.
















Sidenote: Last weekend, my friend Lilly from Cal happened to be stopping in Bombay on her way back from London. Kimberly from DC found herself in Bombay on another consultancy assignment, and Jennifer from the AIF Fellowship who is now officially working in Hyderabad had to come to Bombay for a meeting. Lilly and Jennifer had met during Fashion Week in April. Kimberly and Jennifer had met in Hyderabad. I of course was a common link for all 3. So what do we do, we go out for a sumptuous meal and rejoice on just how small a world it is after all.

That couch at Olives seems like a happening place.

That too, it is close to the door after all. The easier to kick you out if you get too obnoxious.
