We all want to wish you a very special Happy Birthday to you Jagdishbhai.
I guess everyone is in Mercer for the family Gathering and may not have internet access.
Mahendra and all the Maru Family
hey guys, most of you probably know about this by now, but i came across an interesting article about it during my lunch break.
India's President!
~Veer
Khushi is in preparation to join the army squad. She crawls around the entire place… under the table, over the bed (no she doesn’t climb yet). Jumps on us while we try to sit in search of peaceful moments. She stands up holding ANYthing… coffee table, chair, us!! She babbles a lot and tries to communicate with us. Her favourite toy is still a ball. She enjoys playing with it, throws it and then runs (crawls) to catch hold of it again. She had a blast with her nana-nani and is having fun with her dada-dadi. She really tires them out. There have been moments when the grandparents have said… bas… have aane tu le, ame thaki gaya.
Here are some of her latest snaps. Enjoy!
Niagara Trip with Grandparents
Trip to Bronx Zoo with Neev Bhai & Parth Bhai
શિયાળે લોસ એનજલીસ ભલો
ઉનાળે નૌરવૉક
ચોમાસે કૅનટકી ભલો
મૂંભૈ બારેમાસ
The poem highlights that how much ever i visit all different places, I still miss one place the most, home…
Happy 29th Anniversary.
Love you lots,
Paras, Baia.

last time so please check it again. Since the trip is only a week
away this will be the final version of the spreadsheet any more
modification or changes should be done over the phone.

There are a number of things that I want to let everyone know as you
are preparing for the trip. As of now we have 33 family members that
are coming to the trip, I am really glad and excited that most of us
are able to make it.
Expenses:- Please keep a track of all expenses that you make for the
trip, for example if you buy any food or supplies, provide your
expenses to Harkachand kaka at the trip. Once kaka has everyone’s
expenses, we can figure out a per-person cost of the trip.

afternoon. Please try to arrive as early as possible after 2 pm on
Friday.

Personal needs and special requests:- If you have any special
request, or needs please let me know by phone as soon as possible so
that we can try to accommodate it.
We have allocated people to the Cabins, Cottages and Tents best to our
judgment please review the Room Allocation tab on the spreadsheet and
let me know if you would like to change something.
Raksha Bandhan: Last but not the least all the brothers and sisters,
we will be celebrating raksha bandhan on Sunday morning. So sisters
please bring all the rakhees.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!!

Hi Fam!
I’m writing from Baltimore, primarily to let you all know I’m gonna miss everyone at the reunion.
Work is taking me to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I’m excited about the trip, but wish I could have made it to Pennsylvania as well.
The summer has been beautiful.
Sailing, music-making, throwing dinner parties, playing capoeira, biking, letting my hair grow.
I finished my first year of medical school. Now I’m spending the summer doing some policy research on national responses to the HIV and TB epidemics.
I wanna extend an open invitation to y’all to visit me in Baltimore. If you come before it gets cold, I’ll take you out on the water.
The pics are of me playing the guitar and harmonica, sailing, and at the white coat ceremony with friends and family.
Here are some inspirational quotes. see you all soon.
1. If you want your dreams to come true, don’t oversleep.
2. The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
3. Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
4. The best vitamin for making friends….B1.
5. The 10 commandments are not multiple choices.
6. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
7. Minds are like parachutes…they function only when open.
8. Ideas won’t work unless YOU do.
9. One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.
10. One who lacks the courage to start has already finished.
11. The heaviest thing to carry is a grudge.
12. Don’t learn safety rules by accident.
13. We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves.
14. Jumping to conclusions can be bad exercise.
15. A turtle makes progress when it sticks its head out.
16. One thing you can give and still keep …is your word.
17. A friend walks in when everyone else walks out.
18. The pursuit of happiness is: the chase of a lifetime!
May God Almighty Bless You With Health,Happiness and Prosperity Always.
