28th Oct, 2006 - Today is my Grandmother's (Mamamma) birthday. It also my Aunt Nutan's birthday too. Both of them are in Mumbai. We called them and wished them. I babbled a little on the phone and conveyed my wishes too. My grandmother spoke to me, sangs some songs to me and told me how excited she was that I was coming to see her in a few days.

 We are very close to our India trip and there is still some last minute shopping to be done, not a lot, just a few things. We went to the WestField Mall in Culver City and managed to find all the things we wanted. We then had dinner at my parents favorite Thai Restaurant, Thai Klang Dong.  They always give me a fortune cookie, and mine was perfect. It said "A pleasant journey to places far away".........How did they know?
