Another dinner in the city! But this one is a celebration, instead of a farewell dinner. The occasion is that Chirag, in the center with the flags, and his wife are now U.S. Citizens! They are both from India, and we are better for their presence in the United States. They are both brilliant people - Chirag is a doctor who is doing research at a major hospital and his wife is in the medical field as well. What's interesting is that they had to give up their Indian citizenship. Now they will need visas to visit the country they were born in. It was a joyous occasion for all of us! Stan is on the left, and Preston is on the right - this celebration was his idea. We talked about learning photography, which both Chirag and Preston are doing and music and life and creativity. What an inspiring evening!
I had no idea that Indian citizens had to give up their citizenship if they become U.S. citizens. It's wonderful that you were able to celebrate with Chirag. betsey
