But now I'm over it. I still don't know what it means to you but at least it doesn't involve consuming beer or illegal substances.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you had a wonderful time. The opportunity to see your home town through the different lenses of your new daughter's eyes and your husband's camera was a wonderful theme for this post. I think we all appreciate our homes differently, and experience it's joys all over again, when looking through the eyes of someone we love.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.MACMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271028892253203648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30358593.post-88256275210177632532008-04-11T15:28:00.000-07:002008-04-11T15:28:00.000-07:00Thanks Sudipta...I'm really honored.Thanks Sudipta...I'm really honored.Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104026597150722305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30358593.post-48789332617856282532008-04-10T21:38:00.000-07:002008-04-10T21:38:00.000-07:00Pingback from Blogbharti: [...] And don’t miss the...Pingback from <A HREF="http://www.blogbharti.com/sudipta/development/the-sands-of-time/" REL="nofollow">Blogbharti</A>: [...] And don’t miss the wonderful pictures her hubby took at Kolkata at the end of the post!
