MY FAMILY
Mine is a small, dynamic, energy and talent packed family of
four. Geographically far apart, electronically close knit, looking
for adventurous holidays together, meeting in remote places
where all of us converge and get wonder-struck when everything
gets amazingly synchronised and plans fall in place.
Bhushan, my husband, a senior bureaucrat, golfer and a singer,
has steered the family into what it is now and we all are his
pride. The little pushes he gave me at the right time of
my formative years carried a long way and the rest was destined
to be. He is still my best critic and support, whenever need
be.
Maneesh, my elder son, is a Physicist(Ph.D) from California
Institute of Technology and Stanford University. He has co-founded
a company, Parallele Biosciences, which sequences human genes.
He so keenly pursues outdoor sports like roller blading, mountain
biking, windsurfing, scuba diving, marathons and bike rides
that we tend to forget the great genius in him as a scientist.
Sandeep, the younger son, received his BS and MS in Computer
Science from Stanford University. He works in Silicon Valley. His main stay is music.
He formed his own band Acapella at Stanford, created a fusion
of Jazz and Indian classical music, calling it the tandoori
mix, made a computer graphic animated movie, and gives guitar
performances.
Nadya, my daughter-in-law, did her Post Doctorate in Clinical
Psychology from Stanford University. She joined us in the New
Millenium year 2000. Now, when we all sit together, just imagine
the range of talks from art, politics, genes, human computer
interactions, and human minds!! A family with each component
so diverse, yet in harmony, as it abounds in care and concern
for each other.
All of them have taken great interest in my pursuits and I feel
truly blessed. There is really nothing I want except for Divine
blessings to keep us like this, enabled and humane and in a
position to contribute to the world our own little bit.
