Yesterday 30th June I caught up with two of my collegemates. Thirumalai Rajan and Chidambaram, who live in the Bay Area. I last saw them off when we passed out our graduation from Thiagarajar College of Engineering 40 years back. We drifted in our own ways since. We reconnected thanks to web in Mid 2000s but we couldnt catch up in person, as my US travels never covered San Francisco area.
We met over 90 min at Mountainhead,(Tracy CA) near Livermore temple at Thirumalai Rajan's place. Thirumalai and Chidambaram (both form Madurai city) moved to USA in Mid 1990s and have settled here.
Summary of my mail to Thirumalai and Chidambaram. Also I hope this blog post can connect to folks who are my classmates and I cant get in touch.....!
Chidambaram and Thirumalai,
It was great to catch up with you both here at your backyard Yesterday.(30th June).
Chidambaram thanks for the 100 mile drive to Tracy from San Jose.
Thirumalai,Thanks for hosting me and Lalitha. The garden you have maintained is so awesome. (The peach and Apple in plants seen for the first time!) The dinner was so enjoyable. Please pass on our appreciation to your wife. Also many thanks for keeping the pet cat locked up!!
No wonder 90 minutes just flew. We are glad that we could also visit Livermore Shiva Balaji temple on the way.
We are packing our bags for home on 9th July evening after an awesome 50 days stay here. Yes, with a busy schedule of consulting and coaching for both of us, let us see when we can work our next visit here to travel across Uncle Sam. Oh yes, this visit we were very clear to spend all the time with Son and Daughter here in Cupertino and Foster City, and thus the travel to Dallas TX and Portland OR for 2 days each was just a bonus.
We will keep in touch.
Regards
Thirumalai Rajan (Red Shirt) and Chidambaram.
Chidambaram and his mother (His wife is on travel to India) at Livermore Shiva Balaji Temple.
Awesome dinner..
