Definitely a highlight of the year. Let’s sum the year. What do I recall most about the year that just went by? Well, I got too see Swati n Arya go to India. That left me alone. I made a huge mess of the place, unable to clear up the house in time as the family slowly returned from India. Swati was upset, but what surprized me was that both Kunu and Swati knew about me asking somebody to come by to help me clean up the garage mess. Yes I did, and it did not work out. My new friend actually got to see our dirty unkempt house for the first time. I then called Bishnu to come by to help me. That too didn’t get much happening. It took, Swati the remainder of the year to slowly bring back the house to a sense of normalcy. Through loads of screams and pain (read as marital mini problems) am glad I stuck to my sayings -“Think who am doing it for, what is my goal. and why?” Lest I forget, the answer is, my kids need a dad, ideally someone like who my savior grew up with.

There was CHIRS and BIST to help give me a social circle to work on my hobbies with. Working with 2 PHD grads on interesting brain projects, and then getting myself a video shoot to raise social awareness via CBC. Eagerly awaiting the release of my video clip by early March/24, and then later in the fall is Totonto NIYROAA chapter hosting this coming annual convention.

Highlight of the year, was to see Arya do her ballet performance at winter wonderland, and both parents failing at intro swimming as both girls passed their respective intro classes!
