Deepa, Suhas, Nandaatya and Pramodkaka visit

Deepa's parents are here in Bay area, and they are about to leave, so we invited them for dinner Monday night. We are still struggling a bit to throw parties with Neil around, but yesterday's was pretty close to normal. Neil behaved by eating up and sleeping while we ate. And Lisa's preparation worked out well. Oh, and not to forget my contribution - I suggested that she bake parathas in oven - this way she could make 6 at a time, without having to look after them. The Vegi's parathas turned out the best.

Kaka was telling us about his visit to Norway, and the conference they had. It was a management related conference and he told fascinating stories about how mismanagement at the top (board room) causes lots of problems for the corporate world.

As usual I played a game of chess with Ninad. He is on his summer vacation, and I will have my vacation in August - so I asked them if I could teach him to play chess. I have always wanted to teach him - he is extremely talented and loves to play chess. So this August, I will get to spend time with him and see if I can take him to level where he can beat me.
