Of course the highlight of today was visiting Dr. Fernandez at her flat in Bandstand...Did I mention several Bollywood actors and actresses live here as well...In fact, Rekha who is a well known actress lives in the bungalow right below her! And Shah Rukh Khan across the street. We had a great time with lots of conversation and delicious snacks and chaats. I had amazingly fresh guava juice. Dr. Fernandez is an exceptional individual and I was just so honored to be able to sit down and talk with her and the other girls about not one thing in particular. She's so intelligent and filled with so much knowledge. I found out she loves to travel which is a passion I share as well. This experience in India has definitely made me more adventurous and wanting to visit other continents and countries all over the world. She even shared some of her adventures and advice with us. We also got the opportunity to meet her husband who had just came in from a meeting and he talked with us for a bit. They were very humble and welcoming, and I had an overall great afternoon. 
Afterwards, we met Preethi (whom I heard much about over the past couple days) at a Cafe down on linking road that I passed sometime last weekend, but had no idea how good/beautiful it was inside. They had an extensive menu of all types of food and a drop dead gorgeous dessert selection. As much as I wanted to try their white chocolate brownie...I got dinner, which was more like breakfast. Fried egg whites, hashbrowns & toast, with butter apple french toast...It was delish! A little piece of America...which I was craving for some time now. It was nice to finally meet everyone (well that I've heard about over the last week) and for all of us to be together and getting to know one another. It's nice getting to meet other people and making all sorts of connections. We all had a really great time together...hopefully we'll do another "coffee date" soon!
