This is us

The guy in the middle (top photo) arrived into California in 1984 as a scrawny young computer scientist with a brand new MS in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and a BE (Hons) in Electrical Engineering from the Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences, Pilani, India. Also with him was a classic old iron trunk suitcase (we still have it) and a few other possessions!

In 1986 he married the beauty to his left, Manjula. She joined him in 1987 armed with her BS in Nutrition and Food Sciences.

Sameera arrived in 1990. She is a physician specializing in OB/GYN. Harsha in 1995. He is a mechanical engineer And Andrew in 2019. His deal is design, based on his neurosciences education.

This picture on the top was taken on July 11th in Yountville where we celebrated Sameera’s 30th birthday.

And in 2022, the lovely Seerat Guraya joined our family after she and Harsha tied the knot in October. Seerat is a dentist and plans to specialize in pediatric dentistry.
