Anish !! We will miss you dude !

Socha tha sailing karenge. Kishti lekar lake ko paar karenge, kya pata thha kishti beech me jakar doob hi jayegi.

Congratulations to Anish Khandekar on completing his PhD. Now he is a Doctor !
Yesterday was his penultimate day in Madison and I guess we could make it memorable for him. 6 of us( manan, anand, jugal, santosh, anish and I ) left from our offices to the lake thinking we would sail and have beer in the middle of the lake. Manan was the crew leader. He is the only sailer amongst us.

Taking the sail boat we started to sail. The wind was nice, everyone was enjoying. In a few minutes, a heavier gust of wind came and the boat started to tilt. We tried hard to control it, but by the time we could realize it was not possible for us to control, three of us found ourselves in water and in next moment all 6 were in water. The boat tilted so much that the sail was in water. Everyone was holding the boat. Everyone panicked for a while but with the life jakets on, there was no problem in swimming. We started to enjoy the cold water of the lake.

The instant everyone was in lake, I was thinking we lost our beer, but it was floating. I collected as many cans as I could and Anish collected the rest. Anish was really enjoying. He opened a can and started to drink. I opened one can too. In a few moments the rescue team came and took us to the land.

Later Anish took us out for a great dinner and then to the bar.

Dear Anish, congratulations on completing your PhD and best of luck for a successful career.
You were a great friend here and we all will miss you !

Come back to Madison whenever you need to chill !!
