We met


     Some of us met on the 6th of July.

A gang of MCA's made it to the get-2-gather on the 6th of July.
The party as usual started at Indian Standard Time. 

Those who made it :

Prasad with Prabha and son Pratap, Pasupathi and Sashi, 
Suresh Kumar, Srikanth ( -Padmaja ), Jayakumar Raja, 
Kumar SS , Poonguzhali R, Rajeev, Vidhya K, Ashok Kumar,
Jayachitra with Ramesh and daughter Shruthi.
	  
Srikanths BIL Prakash and Anuradha's sister Sangeeta with
fiance Ramnath were also present.
 


The gory details of the party:

Srikanth missed Padmaja. Result : We felt Padmaja's presence and 
Srikanth's absence . (As usual, he refused to remove his shoes )

Kumar, Vidhya's husband who was not visiting, felt her absence so 
much that he fell sick. We plan to give him a special invitation
when we meet next. 

Poonguzhali was desperately trying to charm a guy. The fact that 
he was just a year old didn't seem to matter. 

Raja was busy playing phone tabs with Shankar. Maybe his newly 
acquired Texan accent didn't ring a bell with Shankar.

Ashok turned out to be the official photograbber with a variety of 
cameras hanging around his neck. He was seen struggling to pacify 
his newly acquired wife/camera to operate without him touching the 
button (self-timer).

SS Kumar was found too tense  (more than the ghost aka the host).
Had to call up his wife in India to .... (we do not know the story 
guys, the phone was not tapped )

Sashi tasted wine for the first time the nth time.

The oldest member in the Gang (Prasad) refused to sit in the middle 
chair for the group photograph because he thought he was too young 
for it ( Give us a break )

I realized the meaning of too many cooks spoiling the broth,
the food had to be ordered.

For the first time in MCA history the guys outnumbered the girls.
(outside the class tough ) and Kumar didn't like it.

The following morning, my neighbour enquired if I had got engaged 
the previous night (!!) What did you folks do(!!) I guess I'll never
know.

Those who didn't make it :

A guy called Shankar doled on us.
Jayshree had to go off to detroit as her brother promised to buy 
her a new car.
Venkatraman and Ravi Gupta were found bird watching in Yosemite.
Additions :
Send in your comments and they will be included here.

Ashok says : Raj, you forgot to mention that one of the hosts 
(Suresh) wanted to eat even before some of the guest arrived. oops!

Expect the group photograph soon.
