quarter_coin

It’s been over a year that I started collecting US quarters, I am not done completely but I recently purchased a Quarter book where I can store the coins and I am 42 states down, 8 to go…

will soon get to 50 quarters, just wanted to share where I am at currently… have any of you collected quarters? share stories…

 

i found this completely moving.

the pbs video summarizes nicely.

large scale impact by one thoughtful, innovative, compassionate person.

Thanks, Vivek, for the post and all of you for the birthday wishes. I had a great weekend.

@Dhenu/Mitesh: I actually went to a party called “4 hours of funk” so your birthday wish for me came true.
@Jayanti Kaka/Jaya Kaki, I don’t know when I’ll make it to Norwalk, but ALL of you are encouraged to visit Baltimore.
@Priti: I would be honored to cook for you. Come with the fam to Baltimore. Parth will love the National Aquarium.

WHEN ARE DOING RAKSHABANDAN y’all? Maybe we could gather in Philly and welcome Nimit back to the East coast?

Check out these pics from our visit to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts…

happy birthday chintan bhai!

our loving and loyal brother who always has a smile to warm you, a joke, an insight to make you think, an observation to make you look twice, a question to make you wonder, a dance move, something nourishing on the fire.

did anyone notice which fine lady he was peeping at tania and my wedding?

here are some photos from the trip chin and i took to sierra leone in october. chin did a project on strengthening timap’s approach to accountability for health services.

it was very special for me that he made that trip.
