He arrived a bit travel worn, but he sat quietly until we could spend some time with him and the weather improved. He's not really set up for rain, and we've had too much of it. Then, I was too busy to show him around, so he just hung out, not asking for much. I felt kind of guilty, I'd said I would host and then, the work I'd been waiting so long to get finally started, so there was little time. I took him with me to Ukulele Sunday and out to the software ranch, but I couldn't really pay attention to him and do what I needed to get done at the same time.

My father on his postings outside Hyderabad, would move there and my mother and three kids remained in Hyderabd, so that our studies were not affected. I remember traveling with my mother ( I wonder why my brothers were made to stay back home) to visit my father who was posted at Rajahmundry. It seemed a long drive. And the sight of the river Godavari was breathtaking.
