Some pics, a little dated!




My wife, Archana and I at an Indian function. She was doing the Dandia Raas. Li'l boy with the toy plane is my younger boy, Austin Ishan.
Couple of years later, after loosing the salt and pepper goatie, we had been on a cruise to the Carribean. Wife had snapped the pic. Older boy, Justin Rabikumar in the middle. Promise to post a current picture soon. We hardly take pictures, and don't have a family portrait yet :-(

Hilu, You havent changed!

For a moment I thought it was a song sequence from the movie Jab We Met?
Puchho Na Pucha Mujhe Kya Milega, Teri Baahon Mein Aakar
Yeh Ishq Haaye Baithe Bithaaye, Jannat Dikhaaye Haan!!

Hi Hilu.........
Justin and Austin? Those are some snappy appellatives!And the Dandiya Queen looks cute too.... Btw...are you the brother of Shilu? He was my classmate, you know:-}Where is he now?

Hilu

Ethnic family outing ! Justin babu looks ' hoobahoo' your school day Omkar personified.
The strands of hair kissing his forehead , everything ! Probab Austin has gone on your spouse.

I am not with Faiyaz on his remark ' that u have'nt changed. I could not have recognised you with a receding pate ( bane of masculinity )but for Justin in your lap .

Yes dramatising as a Forensic Pro can distinguish you as the real ' Hilu ' by the Honey coloured mole which adorns your right cheek. School time memoirs !

Pretty wife n cute kids... not to forget the handsome husband/father.
God bless you all. Can you mail me your telephone number (Vimal has my email-id). It would be wonderful to talk to you and Archana.

Hi Omkar ,

Omkar said...

A little embarrassed but thx nonetheless folks ;-)

Yep thats what they all say about my "Justin Baba".

Nargis,
I had a reply to an earlier post of yours. No don't think Shilu is my brother. Can't place him.

Sarita,
Will do. Same to u and yours.

Great family, Omkar! Good to see you after ages... God bless.

arun bhatt said...

coool dude! but yes we males are also a jealous lot too. next time you post a pix please date it. otherwise those fighting baldness and obesity like me will promptly blog "yes that was hilu ten years ago"
great pix.

Tasneem said...

Its high time somedody posted his n his family's pic and also his parent's pic. Hello, Arun are you listening? We are waiting eagerly,

arun bhatt said...

will my shaadi ka fotu chalega? believe me we do not have a recent family pix. i plan to go to the studio on an auspicious occasion and get one clicked. Vimal has already threatened shankar(which wa basically meant for me) to block our blogs. lets see or as shankar would be tempted to say in tamil- parkalaam.

Tasneem said...

Shaadi ka foto for the time being chalega. Uske baad recent wala post karna....varna Vimal ka threat yaad rahe.... actually we will be the losers 'cause we love to read your posts... don't deprive us of that pleasure Arun, so get cracking.

Faiyaz said...

Arun - Dulhe Ka Sehra wala foto Nahin!
Dulhan ka Ghunghat wala Nahin!

arun bhatt said...

Reena said...

Sunder, Ati Sunder. Great pictures.

Vimal Parmar said...

Reena, thatz Hindi... What about Oriya?

Omkar said...

Thx Reena,

Ab aapki baari meri dost! Blv. it or not, as Vimal sez, there's a lot of posting in Oriya (sans font)on this blog.

And Arun picks up Oriya words that I had not heard in eons, like Dev Anand's "thuli".

Linguist Bhai Sahib (Arun),
Where's you & yours "tasveer"?

Reena said...

I really have to dig deep for Oriya but may surprise you. Stay tuned.
