Lincoln Park ZOOLIGHTS!!!


Last week I went to see the Lincoln Park Zoolights with Dhruva. We were like little kids seeing lights for the first time. There were so many lights and I couldn't help having a huge grin on my face while I was looking at them. If you have a chance, go see the festive lights before they are gone. 

Check out the photos Dhruva took on her blog: http://twoonenine.blogspot.com/

2011 Holiday Train!!!

Last Saturday, Viha and I rode the 2011 Holiday Train in Chicago. It was the most fun I've had on the Chicago El!!! We went to the Red line Grand stop to catch the train but it was a bit off schedule so Viha was passing her time playing Words with Friends on her phone. Then the train came and we saw Santa ride past us. This train is the Chicago El all dressed up for Christmas. Every cart is decorated inside and out and there is a sleigh in the middle of the train with Christmas trees, reindeers, and even a live Santa. We got on the train and took it to the Lake stop on the Red line in search of some hot chocolate. We got off the train, climbed the stairs, and ended up at the Macy's holiday window displays. Then we crossed the street to get some hot chocolate and cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery which recently opened up in Chicago. It was a fun and festive Saturday afternoon!!!


Words with Friends

Happy Holidays!

The prettiest El train ever!!!

Meher Dance Company - 2011 Winter Dance Recital

I was asked by my friend Gopi Engineer, who's a fabulous dance instructor, to take pictures of her dance company's 2011 Winter Recital. The performances were great and you could see the enthusiasm of all her students (young and old) in their faces as they danced. Congratulations to all the performers!!!

Three Month Old Anna!!!

I haven't posted in a while because I was in India for most of November and returned last week. I will post my India pictures in the next few weeks. I have a lot of them to go through! Last weekend, I met three month old Anna and her parents and had a great time taking pictures of them. Anna was so cute in her pink dress and chubby cheeks!!! :) Here are some of my favorite pictures.
