A reunion of sorts

When it's said that Travel widens horizons, it's not necessarily the vacation, work, adventure kinds......at times it can even be your good old visits back home. No visit to Hyd seems to go by without  atleast one special spark.

This one's very family, but happened so by chance, and was so fascinating that just for that it deserves mention. Out of nothing we suddenly had a cousin-get-together which we could not have planned better. For the simple reason that not even one of us lives in Hyderabad anymore.

Starting the U with Dhruva on the right, we have Ruchira, Michael, Rajeshwar, Praveen, Harshitha, me, Nandita, Mala, Tegen, Shilpika and Crockett . Samhitha, you're sadly missing in this pic :(

Started with one what's app message from Nandita (from Houston) to say...."hey, I happen to be in Hyd for two days, in case you also are, we could do coffee". And from there we discovered that a bunch of us happened to be here.....from Jodhpur, Detroit, Doha, Houston, and ofcourse Bangalore (add in a few spouses and kids) and we had a nice mix.

At one point way way back we were all really really close, and it was amazing how quickly we found that space again..... what started as an hour over coffee stretched onto over six hours of so much connect & fun.

And considering the varying directions we've gone in, it almost became yet another level of 'travel widening horizons' ..........sitting across the room. :)

Michael and Nandita, a huge thanks for initiating, and hosting this !!
