Family Gathering

Yesterday, after the piano recital, we gathered with Nilima and her girls (Mukesh was working) at Falguni's home. Rohan and Rahul were excited. Dipan grilled hot dogs, marinated shrimp and lamb chops. We hung out, chatted, played frisbee, drank some beer and then ended the day with s'mores. Perfection.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. Frank Lloyd Wright.

What if I used public transportation to get to work?

If I used public transportation to get to work to the client office in Iselin (New Jersey), it takes me between two and three hours to commute via bus and then New Jersey Transit. This commute is 45 minutes in my car.

If I used public transportation to get to work to the client office on Wall Street in New York City, it takes me between three and four hours to complete the commute door to door. This commute is two hours if I drive my car and park in Jersey City and then take the ferry to Pier 11 which is one block from the client building.
