We went to Boston on New Year's eve to see Disney On Ice and then to see the ice sculptures and fireworks at Boston Common. We had a good time (except for this funny photograph).

This photograph has Shashank with us, and you can see a Ice Sculpture titled "Imagination", in the background.

Here is my lovely wife in Stowe, Vermont during fall 2005. We finally made this trip to Vermont, and enjoyed a long weekend there.

Stowe mountain area was really beautiful during this time. We highly recommend a trip to this place during fall.

We tried kayaking in Summer of 2005 at Cochitute State Park and we loved it.

Lake Cochituate State Park, located in Natick, Massachusetts, is one of several local state parks created from former reservoirs of the City of Boston.

This stunt got so popular that Saif and Priti tried the same in Salam Namaste movie.

We moved to our new apartment in Bangalore in May 2004. Vikas Ohri (my buddy from college) & his wife Vandana were present along with Bhavana's bhaiya and bhabhi. Vikas Madan ji (another buddy from college) was spending this time on MG road doing what he does the best (as bhabhi was out of town). Madan, I never asked you why you came late.

I almost forgot the man behind the camera: Shashank (my friend from Wipro).
