Joy to the World, y'all!! (From Medha, Pavan, Lakshmi and Prasad)
Yours truly with Sailaja Aunty in Tokyo. She took the train (for 2 hours!) and came to meet me. It was very sweet of her. She didn't trust me to handle the trains in Japan. I know. My mom's not the only one who still thinks of me as a lil' kid. :-)

Taking a break before dinner...
More enjoyment for Jaya and Susila...
Everybody enjoying Chinnathhamma's flowerpot not igniting...

Look the other way at your own peril...

Chichchu-buddi!!
'Twas the night before Dipavali. Jaya and Prasad-annayya's home looked fantastic. From atop their home (from the Dhaaba), you can see Golconda fort.
Trying to give Taatamma Punnamma the slip...Chinnathamma is in the background.
Studly posing off, while his Grandma beams on proudly in the background...
Sillypoint, backward short-leg and short square leg. Pavan jumps out of his crease aiming to pull the ball to midwicket! Brilliant move!!!
Prasad-annayya showing Pavan and Medha their pictures on his camera phone...
Amma, Vishnu and Athamma.
Pavan also enjoying Day 1.
Medha posing off on Day 1. At Jaya's home. Her love of jewelry is quite disturbing to her salaried employee father.
Vishnu enjoying his favorite hobby - sleep!
Medha in California, the day before we left on the trip. Those are chinese clothes that I got on one of my trips.
