Dhrumil's Birthday Thang
Dear Friends,
This Friday I’m celebrating you, me and 1983. Actually I was born in 82, but the sentence just rhymed so well.
Either way, Friday in NYC. Come if you are free. Good times, great music, and even better conversations.

1) That my gut feelings, no matter how crazy they feel, are called my gut feelings for a reason.
2) That I would love to create a business that my younger sister could play a roll in.
