Team NYC

The Christmas weekend that passed 12 of us headed from Toronto to NYC on an epic trip. Epic because there were a few events that occured, which while probably not a first in the history of mankind, was definitely a first in my life. This blog's going to be short, I'll profile each of our trip mates here. As for the trip, I'll reserve it's details for the next one. Well, here goes..
We'd rented 2 minivans, which seated 6 of us in each. The first one held..

• Roy, Jyothi - Our chief at work, and his wife. A great couple!
• Avinash, Aarthi, Aashi - The soft-spoken Tripathis from UP. I have never seen any of them in an excited/agitated state except for baby Aashi at times when she needs to announce her need for food.
• Antony - Aashi's godfather, babysitter, guardian......

The second and probably more noisy minivan held

• Benny - My partner in crime, right from God's own country
• Gopi - The most eloquent Tamizhan I have met, never shies from cracking a joke, either upon himself or the unsuspecting public.
• Jinesh - Our Gujju boy, his appetite and enthusiasm never cease.
• Sudhir, Lakshmi - Our trip manager(you could say) and his wife. Lakshmi, being our latest entry to the FCT family, I feel inclined to elaborate a little more upon her. Now she's one of those people who have a perennial smile on their faces. I'm sure when she was born , the doctor would have been quite surprised, cause unlike other babies she would have come into this world with a smile. Another great couple!
• Myself - The last of the 12, the antithesis of everything normal!
