Here are a few of the pictures from my friend Tika's wedding to Raj (Tika is in the red sari with the green sash). They are both from Nepal. Most of the rest of the people in the pictures are of my colleagues from India and their families. Wonna, David, Larry and I are probably the exceptions... I've been working with all of them since I left California the last time and they are good friends. I wish I could bring all of them back to meet y'all!
The first picture is of most of the team and their families.
The second is of me and Chirag with his lucky Mom, Divya, in the background... She's lucky that I gave him back!
The third are of most of the kids. When Rajiv showed up, his son (the one in the middle) was terribly shy and would not let go of his Dad's hand. [His mother has died very recently.] But about 45 minutes into the reception, Karthik's two amazingly beautiful daughters and Divya's oldest son broke him free and they all ended up sliding around on the dance floor like crazy Farrell cousins!
The fourth is Divya, David, Ketke, and huggy Chirag. I work with everyone except Chirag...
I was just so dazzled by the saris and how amazing my work-a-day friends looked in them! And they assure me that I would fit easily in the same saris (with less pleats...) but that I'd just need a "slightly" larger blouse to fit underneath ;-). Very polite...
