Glad to be back home.

Ameya & I left DC at 8:30 on saturday 30th June for London.
The person checking us in was impressed with Sonu and upgraded us to business class. Also the carrier was Boing 777, most fantastic plane. Business class had individual cubicles where the seats can be reclined fully. However Ameya hated business class and was grumbling throught saying how much he hated business class and he will never never ever will travel again in business class.
From London we were in World Traveller Plus class and Ameya refused to sit there. He went and plonked himself in 32 K in Economy class.
I had to request the person in 32K to please come & sit in business class. (He was a shippie from Goa and consumed 3/4 bottles of red wine).
I think we were very lucky that there were no delayes and we reached Bombay in time. Baba was waiting for us and we left immediately for Pune. at 3:30 in the morning I got a call on my cell. It was Ameya calling me from down stairs. I went down and he ate a hearty breakfast on 4 rotis , onion and bhaji. I think he will take another 2/3 days to overcome jet lag.
As soon as we reached Pune it started raining very heavily. It rained for 2 days nonstop.
Natasha & Tanya cme to see us next evening and Ameya was very happy to see them. Golf course is flooded, so I have not started golf as yet.
Rajashree is in Pune with her family from Dubai. Sabita is in Pune from Ottawa. So I am planning to call Vibha, Rajashree & Sabita with their children to spend an evening with us in 236, Sind Colony.
