Happy New Year!

Many many many wishes for a great new year...

Celebrations here were fun. A satsang was organized at the camp at Asab, an oil field in the interior of Abu Dhabi emirate, where we had around 150 devotees in a well decorated hall. We ushered in the new year with a meditation and prayer. There was satsang, cake cutting, dinner, meditation, some games and a long bus ride to and from the destination.

Also, today is Tanvi's birthday so its a double celebration. We gifted her an iPod last night and are planning for an interesting get together in the evening today.

I am enjoying my stay here, looking to expand my social circle, as most of my friends are outside. Have joined a gym here and then there is the corniche, a beautiful 10 km walking and cycling stretch by the arabian sea. So am working out a lot, which is necessary considering mum's

 impassioned efforts at making me put on weight. Am helping tanvi prepare her applications for further studies by writing her essays. She is very happy with the same.

This place is just full of all the comforts i could imagine, unlimited movies to choose from dad's library, video games, malls selling everything, abundant food, and the best thing - our whole family being together.
