I know the country has endured a … Continue reading Note to Allied Jewish Federation

I’m taking this attack in Mumbai personally and it makes me sick. I just returned from India on Monday after an amazing few days in Delhi. We went to attend the wedding of Pravheen and Akanksha.

We were invited into their … Continue reading Mumbai On My Mind
