Paul flew in from Michigan for a visit. Here are the Friday and Sunday night pictures. (I was getting busy with my Valentine Saturday night.)
One blur of a day at work, then a NYIIA luncheon, then rushed home to get the car, and pick up Paul from Newark airport. Then picked up the wife, and we all had to get ready.
First we went to this party @ Jewel of India in Syosset Long Island. Around midnight, we drove to the city to the Black Pussy Cat lounge in the Village. We got home at 4am. Teena has provided all the pictures from the Black Pussy Cat place. Nice pictures, no?

After lunch, Paul came over, and we watched Unbreakable and Black Hawk Down. Then we got ready, and went out for dinner at Famous Dave's. We ended the evening at Harvest Moon Brewery in New Brunswick.

Lesh organized her own birthday, and since we all haven't hung out in a while, this seemed like a good opportunity. We met up at Sugar down on Church St and Canal. Good time, I must say. Thanks to Mr. Cherickel for providing all the photos.

Here's the short version of it: Neil and Megha are now engaged to be married. The party was at the Clinton Manor in Union, New Jersey. Num and I danced until the very end (how nauseatingly sweet). Since I forgot the Memory Stick for the camera, dear sweet lovely Krupa was kind enough to share her pictures with us all.
Thank you, dear sweet one-of-a-kind Krupa. You're so sweet, you're like a big bucket of diabetes.
FYI, Tejas and Krupa are brother & sister. Vinay and Sanjay are brothers, and Reshma is their cousin. Finally, I recently learned that I'm only allowed to kiss my wife.

After years of eduation, my friend Kenar will now be working at Yale University Hospital. His little sister Avani did all the arranging, phone-calling, etc, and their cousins Nehal and Meghal did the emceeing an DJ work. Incidently, Nehal and Meghal were the DJ's at my wedding. As always, quality entertainment.
I would have taken more pictures, but the batteries died. Rats. I am not having any luck with the camera at all this year. Suffice it to say, lots of people were there, and my friends were the most attractive. Especially Chirag. :)

Continuing her recent descent in debauchery, Lesh finally moved out from her parents' house, and got an apartment with 3 flight attendants in Newark's Ironbound district. She had her housewarming, and we all brought food. I must say, nice apartment. Num and I made potato salad, shrimp and sausage jambalaya, and a bottle of Bacardi. Don't go anywhere without your bottle of Bacardi ("Okay, where's my endorsement money?")

It's odd that Plexy's birthday shares the same date with major revolutions in history. I wonder if his actual birth was just as traumatic?
