Return of the Prodigal Co-Editor

There is much to report in recent months.

December 2005: Clan descends upon Mumbai for annual smorgasbord of hedonism. Wadhwanis the world over convened in Mumbai in December, in conformance with the annual ritual. The emphasis as ever was on family bonding, boozing, partying, clubbing, and meeting random NRIs from all over the world.

February 2006: Karina announces engagement to Umesh Amarnani. Its official - Karina's days a Wadhwani are numbered. As thrilled as I am for her, I cant help but feel a tinge of sadness that she is being poached from us by another family. Of course, as Wadhwanis we will still have access to Karina's kindness, warmth, intelligence and good nature; but now we must share these qualities with another family. To the Amarnanis, I hope you realise how lucky you are!

March 2006: Bhagwan Wadhwani passes away. Bhagwan chacha's sad passing earlier this year was a surprise to us all, not least because he seemed to be on the road to recovery following his emergence from a coma. Bhagwan chacha, RIP.

March 2006: Gaurav parties with family members in NYC. Gaurav's 3-week visit to the USA included 2 weeks in Chicago, 5 days in Miami and 3 days in NYC, where by day he met Sanjana, Vijay, Kabir, Pravir and Henna. By night he partied with family members including Karina, Monish, Vikki, Andy G and Guna.

April 2006: Wadhwani family members return to Second Home. April has become the new December for the Wadhwani family, as relatives have flocked to Bombay in unprecedented numbers this month.

More detailed descriptions on all the above events will be posted in due course.

Loves to all,

Gaurav
