Thank You for Collection of Connections!!!

Raj and I are trying to start blogging again. It has been a while. A lot has happened since we last posted anything. Well there was obviously the wedding which we posted links to. Raj has moved here officially and we've had an amazing month living together and getting to continue our journey together. After some twists and turns, I have decided to continue residency and it is a roller coaster ride to get through it. Raj will start teaching in August in the Bronx School of Arts.

I am off topic. The point of this entry was to say a hearty hearty thanks to Ami(r) and all the amazing people in our lives that contributed to the book that they made...Collection of Connections. This book was made to share the random acts of kindness that the people in our lives have done. I cannot say enough how touched we are. I know that residency continues to be a daily struggle and each morning I wake up to read a story with Raj and I am able to put things in perspective when I am completely overwhelmed. I'm adding a couple pictures of what the end product looks like since so many of you haven't seen it.

Thank you again. Thank you to all those who wrote in the book - Amir, Ami, Biggie, Amrit, Anish & Sejal, Ankurbhai, Bina, Anuradha-didi, Aparna, Arch, Arpit, Asha & Rahul, Audrey, Bhavna, Beans, Ek, Farah, Hemali & Wasim, Henish, Jigar, Kunal, Manks, Marilyn, Milan & Monika, Minal & Omi, Mit, Mridu & Ankit, Neal, Neetal & Sejal, Neil & Manisha & Roshni, Nit, Paras and Shivu, Poon & Ash, Priyaaach, Priti & Puneet, Rah & Resh, Raj S., Rish, Sampat, Sapan, Sarika & Amar & Shalin, Shawn Thomas, Shivani & Jay & Shaan, Sneh, Sonia Lala, Sowmya, Sudia, Choks, Sushil, Unmesh-bhai & Hetal-ben, and Vash!!!!
