Anjali’s friend Vaishali, from college came from the east coast to visit California. They started in San Diego and as they were passing thru to LA and eventually San Francisco, they stopped by to visit.
Vaishali, Shahid and their baby daughter Aleena and a couple of their friends stayed for one night.
The baby on the left is Aleena and the one on the right is Jayla (a friend of Vaishali’s).
Here is Aleena, Vaishali and Anjali.
Ski Mountain High

This week Anjali took the kids to the Mountain High ski resort. It is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from our house and with all the precipitation we have had in the last few weeks, the ski resorts have the best snow in years. They had a beginner program for the kids and by the end of the day, all three were zipping down the mountain.
Here is Nikhil and Vikram at the beginning of the day at their lesson.

Aren’t they lucky to “cut” school and go skiing for the day!

Irvine Housing Market
Posted in Commentary, tagged Housing, Irvine, Recession on January 26, 2008| Leave a Comment »
The housing market here in the Irvine/Tustin area is clearly headed for a downfall. We have several properties on our street that have been sitting on the market for months. The number of foreclosures are at a record high and increasing monthly. On the weekends when we drive around, the “bank repo” signs are out and we are hearing of more and more distress among neighbors who have used their house as an ATM machine for the past several years.
I have been following this blog for the past couple of months from an Irvine resident and probably a realtor. It is a good read and will give you a good idea of what is going on in Tustin. Click here: Irvine Housing Blog.
