This post is for my friend Aparna in Bangalore, who I thought of a lot on a last-minute trip to Los Angeles this weekend.

I went down for a special event and to hear a dear friend and colleague speak (some of you might recognize who all that hair in the foreground belongs to!).

But it was also a lazy day of walking on the beach as the afternoon cooled down, exchanging gossip with friends, eating wonderful food, and getting a bit dizzy and nauseated in the famed LA traffic.

(I got some knitting done, about which more later. For now, can you spot two recently finished projects in the pictures above?)

    Recognised the cardigan…was the other one a scarf?
    And the hirsute gentleman reminds me of Prof Abhijit Sen.

    Wait, Center for India AND South Asia? What what? Is the hirsute one responsible for that neologism? I am too lazy to actually find out.
