Friday Photo - Farewell Bin Shu



My friend Bin Lin Shu is on the far left. Bin is a computer geek and an excellent Photographer. Some of my earlier Friday photos were Bin's contributions.

Bin moved to Canada last week. I wish him and his family the very best.

Next to Bin in the middle is my best friend and mentor , Iqbal Bukhari. Iggy, as we fondly call him, is a Desi, born in India but raised in the US. Very nice person and now my boss as well.

Next to Iggy..is ......you guessed right..That is me..! Someone told me that I looked like Pak. President Musharaf !!

This photo was taken last Friday at Berkeley, California, USA when we had a farewell lunch for Bin.
