Mama Knows Best!

Friday, Niru Aunty (Alpen's mom) left Miami to join Alpen in Boston. A list of a few items she brought with her: a new winter coat to brave the Boston winter, some paintbrushes to bring life into Alpen's hospital room, and fierce healing power that only exists in a mother's hands. With General Nirupama Sheth in town (the true commander-in-chief of Alpen's white blood cells), we can all rest assured that Alpen will be entering the hospital on Monday with the best team possible.

While Niru Aunty pledges to return to Miami in December looking younger and healthier after her Boston adventure, her other-half, Suresh Uncle, might just put on some pounds while she is gone. With no one around to monitor him, Uncle's daily gathiya intake is sure to increase by a few fistfuls (laced with methi of course) and by god, there will be chocolate!!



Seriously family, Suresh Uncle is going to be holding down long 12 hour days at the Indo-American Store so make sure you give him a call every now and then (305-382-7570) to say hi and help him get through the long days. If you are local, stop by sometime, you might just have a laugh and go home with some ayurvedic medicine/spices to cure your ailments. (And if you don't think you have any ailments, ummmm it really doesn't matter what you think.)

In other news, word is, the Boston gang:Alpen, Sushma, Palak, Rahul, Niru Aunty, Rohini Aunty, Ravi Uncle went to an amazing Pandit Jasraj concert tonight. Alpen must have been in heaven.

Between the love pouring in from around the country, music, laughter, food, and family---our bodies, minds and spirits are slowly getting ready for the journey ahead....
