We did it indeed, about time!

Does this mean you had a good time? Would you recommend a Holi party to non-desis? Happy Holi! Laju K.

It's interesting how some of us love to both love and hate everything that is Indian. Could it be because we miss being there? Or simply if we keep writing about it, we will not feel the physical distance.

Amit, it's not you. It's us. Really. Everyone looks kinda tired, because I've heard most never sleep in the city that never sleeps. More so since they (we) knew you were coming etc etc; most of the janta stayed up literally most of the night preparing special meals for you and what not! Some came from other states just to meet n greet with you. And what an experience that was.

Actually I heard someone say that those who managed to stay awake had a great time and would do it again, at the drop of the hat or a nickel or a paisa. So any news regarding the Indo-US N-deal? Thought you must know. Do share.....

We from NYC and the vicinity are a tough crowd! Enjoying pulling your leg.

About time Manish! The guys look bored, the ladies seem to be having fun thinking, "Whatever Amit!" I like the title.

What were you expecting Manish? You should know better, shouldn't you?
Better luck next time!

Manish,

Thanks for the photo. It looks good, even though as you say it was bland. Take a few chillie packets with you or better yet some hot sauce or....
Glad at least the biryani was divine.

Hi Manish,

Thanks for the nice piece and photos. It was fun meeting everyone at Leela's Lounge yesterday evening. Looking forward to reading your book.
