Kalpana, we met at the Silver Jubilee of IITM77 in Dec 2002. Enjoyed your Allepee Express!!! Hilarious!...Been on that train many times!!
Keep up the good work

Kalpna, thank you for your thoughtful commentary ("Why Topdog Indians couldn't make Slumdog Millionaire") on the negative reaction by some in India (which has (disproportionately?) come to us via the US media) regarding Slumdog Millionaire. I appreciate your insights on the issue. And, in reading the piece, I find references to people, events, movies that I am excited to explore further. I look foward to reading more of your blog. (C. Mohan: thank you for the introduction to your "other half"!)

Beautifully written in every way. I look forward to reading more.

Hello Kalpana ji, your talent for writing is so deep and diverse that despite having never met you, your style makes writing come to life and it feels that one knows you folks very well since ages. Congratulations on your Silver Jubilee!
Mohan, Welcome back to Silicon Valley..looking forward to seeing you soon.
