We are the world!

At the UNA's garden party. My babies are lovely, and At is wearing his "Abolish I.C.E." sweatshirt ahead of this weekend's planned raids.

A Rainy Day Visit

The cherries are ripening.

Nu checks to see if they're ready to share with Grandpa R.

Before and After

My exercise today consisted of d r a g g i n g At and Nu to yoga with me. I bribed them with pedicures and bubble tea and extra love.

A portrait of a very good boy.

(Job) Seeker

I cannot get over how awesome he is.

Long conversation yesterday about internships and jobs--nothing we hadn't said before, but now he's out looking for a summer job.

His Two Parrots

My dad always calls my sister Rama Chilaka [Green Parrot] and me Pancha Varna Chilaka [Multicolored/Five-colored Parrot]. Chilaka is a used as a term of affection in Telugu, but because it's my dad, he made it so highly specific.
       
 I found these finger puppets (at Whole Foods of all places!) a few weeks ago and I saved them to wish my dad a happy father's day.

          I actually didn't get to talk to him for very long--he greeted, marveled, loved, kissed, and blessed me in about 15 seconds because the India-Pakistan cricket match was on 😂.
