Over a Coffee....: The Family Bonding!
http://tejaschafekar.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-family-bonding.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. It may be some nine years since I would have spent more than almost two whole months with my parents. Busy growing up, getting 'life lessons' (and degrees on the way) I had almost forgotten how awesome it is to be with parents. Everything got revived when a home away from home was painted by Mom and Dad right here in Boston, MA. Getting up early and seeing the sunrise on the Cadillac mountain (the very first place which gets sunlight in the US) was the high point in the trip.

http://tejaschafekar.blogspot.com/2014/02/visiting-hometown-at-27.html
Sunday, February 2, 2014. Visiting hometown at 27! It was after two years that I planned a trip to Pune for a month. I visited home for almost a month beginning from the New Year’s. I was super excited to see family after such a long time. The feeling was mutual. Mom, dad, grandparents, cousins everyone had planned variety of things for welcoming me. One thing that slipped out of my mind which family never forgets, that I was returning at an age of 27! I don’t know how to answer these questions? It was a...

Monday, November 3, 2014. The GM Diet Plan. All images taken from google). So one evening over dinner we were talking about healthy foods and the crap we eat. Rohan mentioned about General Motors having a special diet plan for its employees which has now apparently become world famous. It’s called the GM Diet Plan. I had a mild headache, my legs felt weak. my body would be thinking “Saala aaj kal “khana” milta hi nahi hai! The next day I had to go to a party where I was offered a pastry. Usually I wo...

Over a Coffee....: The land of MIT and Harvard

Monday, September 2, 2013. The land of MIT and Harvard. It’s been close to three months that I relocated to Boston to explore a different job opportunity and this city is already doing great in giving me all sorts of life experiences. I have spent couple years in Midwest (Michigan), couple on the west coast (Silicon Valley) and now it’s the time for east coast adventures in the city of MIT and Harvard. Now I have become an aggressive driver to adapt to the Bostonians! Well he was right! I am not sure how...
