Our dining table was getting old, so my wife went and bought a new dining table. It was very nice. It had a very shiny, glossy surface and I would get immense pleasure just by looking at it.

Sushil Bhatia
[B.Tech ’66, Electrical Engg., H5] Sushil is a graduate of IIT Bombay 1966, EE H5. His current interests include spirituality, portrait photography and social work. He currently resides in Edison, New Jersey. He is an occasional writer.
Once upon a time (I am told that if one begins a story with these words it becomes an instant success. I will test this hypothesis here) a young Bhatia family came to the U.S. in search of greener pastures. The time goes so far back that there were neither Indian restaurants nor any Indian grocery stores anywhere within 50 miles of where they lived. So, if they ever wanted to eat any Indian delicacies like samosas, Batata Vadas or pakoras, they had to be made at home by the people themselves.
