A new adventure

It's been two weeks since I arrived in Delft, Netherlands, to start my post-doc, leaving the family and kids behind. The next two years promise to be full of adventure, hopefully mostly good ones. For now, I am discovering how to carry out daily activities holding a phone that is perpetually on video-call mode with the boys. I cannot wait to visit them in a month and for their visit here during the summer vacation.

Chitkul

We made a day trip to Chitkul from Sangla. Chitkul (altitude 11320 ft) is supposed to be the "last Indian village" before the Tibetan border. This is where the Baspa river enters India. Chitkul is covered in snow for a large part of the year.

 

 

Lucknow Dec 2019

Anurag and I made a short trip to Lucknow during Xmas to visit his cousins Amara and Miraya along with Mohit mama and Dina mami who were visiting from the US. Kabir couldn't come as he had football matches over the weekend.
We were in Lucknow after about 7 years - last time was for Mayur mama's wedding. We revisited the Bada Imam bada and bhool bhulaiya which we had visited with Mohit and Dina in our last trip when Anu and Amara were little toddlers and Miru wasn't even born.
