Adam and Vidya in Maine

Boston Marathon 2005

Adam and Vidya before the Boston Marathon


Here are a couple of pictures from Adam's race in the Boston Marathon. Despite temperatures in the 70s and a hilly and difficult course, he managed to finish 1,438 out of 21,000 runners and cover the 26.2 miles in 3 hours 11 minutes. Thanks to his dad's encouraging words on Heartbreak Hill and seeing Vidya and his mom hanging out of the second story window of the hotel at the finish line, he managed to finish with arms raised and a big smile on his face.

Wedding Day Alter

We will be married outdoors, under an arbor overlooking the ocean. Our intention is to invite everyone to participate in the ceremony by joining us in decorating an altar for our wedding. You are invited to place an item on the altar when you arrive for the ceremony. A photo, rock, shell, candle or other small object that represents your good wishes for our coming years together would be a wonderful contribution.
