An inspiring visit to Chicago!
We made a quick visit to Chicago! Sheela, Tara's paternal cousin and her husband Soumitri have been living there for many years. Interestingly Soumitri is also related to Tara! He and Tara's mother are cousins. They are 96 and 91 years young! In this visit to USA we were drawn to Chicago, especially to meet Tara's uncle, her father's brother, Sheshadri (Gundu) and aunt Swarna (Sonu). They both are in their nineties, and touch wood, they didn't look their age one bit! You will agree with me as you see their picture above! The evening we reached, an aarthi was performed for Ganapathi. Tara sang a few bhajans, sure enough it included a Marathi prayer and Sonu also joined! I had no idea that she knew Marathi so well.
