Halloween Pumpkins

We had a great Halloween this year, full buildup including standard Half Moon Bay run for pumpkin selection and all associated rides (photographed here), and into Friday for the sugar-heavy troll with equally-costumed friends through San Mateo Park for the kids.

Soccer in California

One of my son’s coaches is a Bengali from Calcutta (Kolkata) now settled in the bio-tech industry in California.  Nice to see his good old Mohan Bagan vs East Bengal spirit in coaching.  Needless to add, and independent of the coaching, my older son is really enjoying the game.

Stop in Korea

I had a great stop in Seoul, Korea today.  It was a beautiful autumn day.  I am reminded of the first trip I made here – probably some ten plus years ago – and still unmatched in terms of memories.

This photograph is taken from a 777-300ER just crossing the Yellow Sea with a view looking out to the ice free harbor at Inchon in Gyeonggi.

Windows into Europe

I was in Europe this week.  As if blissfully ignorant of the current economic outlook – particularly for Europe’s financial services industry – these flowers provide a beautiful rest for the eyes on the window to the world.
