Huge email chain!

So my friend Becky emailed all of our friends about getting together over Thanksgiving. The resulting gigantic email chain demonstrates why I love my friends =). Highlights include:

- Question from Angela about what the Hindi word for vagina is

- Photo of me looking very shady next to a very suggestive statue in Boston (thanks a lot Jodi, now I can never run for public office)

- Photo from Drew of a mole cricket

- Link from Drew to a video of a panda sneezing

And much much more =).

Vikas

Thanksgiving get togethers!

Hey guys!

We should all get together this break!!!

Here are some options:

-Bar on Wednesday night. (any suggestions for places?)

-Thanksgiving Parade Thursday morning

-Dinner Saturday night

You can come to one or all of these events. We’ll have a mix-and-match weekend! Email out to the entire list what ones you would like to do (or if you have any other suggestions)

Miss you guys!

Becky

So, I accidently messed up a couple email addresses in my first one (and I forgot jodi, oops!)…

Please respond to this email instead so everyone gets it. Thanks!!

Becky

Count me in! Here comes the tough part, deciding where to go…Ann Arbor like old times? Sushi? Charleys? CPK?

Not sure if I can make it on Wednesday, but I can make it on Saturday for sure. Drew, I can drive you because you’re on the way from Rochester Hills. If I remember how to drive that is =)!

Vikas

[Quoted text hidden]

Vikas! That’d be great! If the ultimate destination is Ann Arbor or somewhere thereabouts, then yes, I think I am on the way (Livonia).

Thanks!

Drew

[Quoted text hidden]

I am in for Wed night and ABSOLUTELY in for the parade.

Where…? I might be able to be in for AA assuming two things: Andy’s schedule (yeah you!) and that I can crash at Jodi and Aulihan’s place! =)

Can’t do Saturday - plans with my family.

Yay Thanksgiving!

oh and random question to my Indian friends… we were talking about the Vagina Monologues at work today and I mentioned that I went to the Indian/Asia version and could not for the life of me remeber what the word for “vagina…” yes, I did just ask that question =)

I’m in for all three (if you couldn’t tell from my first email) but I am also without car and will need rides. Accepting any offers

for angela: wasn’t it yoni? anika would know for sure though…

Becky

i am replying to all because i think everyone should know that the word is “Yoni.” actually.. it means female genitalia (we don’t have a word for vagina).

Anika

I’m going to be able to do Saturday night and probably the parade, but

will be busy otherwise. If I’m driving to anything, Becky, I can give

you a ride.

Aulihan

p.s. it was yoni

yoni yoniyoni!

i’m in for all! i think…i guess i should check in with my aunt because i was originally supposed to go to her house on wednesday, but im assuming weds night out will be in ann arbor? can we set plans/rides soon so i can i figure out when to head back home? if we’re going out in ann arbor on weds, we’ll prolly head to the parade together on thurs right?

yaaayy im excited to see everyone!! =D

except pranita and anika, i had enough of them this weekend.

jodi

[Quoted text hidden]

so what time is dinner on Saturday? can’t wait to see you all!!

~Anika

[Quoted text hidden]

7pm Sat??WHERE!!??

Pranita

for Sat, how about 7pm at Pizza House? or is there somewhere else people want to go?

for the Weds people, should we just head to a bar in Detroit since Ann Arbor might be a little dead? maybe we could crash in Detroit…? between Pranita, Anika, Andy, and John if you guys are around and okay with that? then we can wake up bright and early for the parade on Thurs! and whoever else wants to can meet us up at the parade!

thoughts?

jodi

ohh, how about seva on Saturday! the yam fries are like ambrosia.

vikas

so i would say yes to staying at my place wednesday night but i am going home right after the bar wednesday. sorry, i have to start cooking at like 7 am. i do have an extra mattress thingy that i can give to john & andy if they’d like. also, if you want to go out in detroit let me know what type of bar so we can figure out a good place to go.

~Anika

Actually Seva would be amazing! Should we make reservations??

I think Detroit would be awesome for Wednesday night, but if it can’t be done I’m fine with other places. Maybe Birmingham?? I do think Ann Arbor will be a little dead.

~Becky

oo yeah yeah yeah, seva!!

we could do Royal Oak?

jodi

royal oak is pretty sweet, not sure if i can make it (my flight gets in late), but i’ll try.

so how many people are in for seva? add to this list, then we can call and make reservations (although i think we’ll be ok):

vikas

jodi

becky

vikas

vikas

jodi

becky

anika

(pranita said she was going to come)

i know of some cool places in royal oak like goodnite gracie’s or cinq. we can also try the blue martini in birmingham but it is kind of expensive.

~anika

This list is going to be mighty huge. Drew and I also asked Malav and

Calvin if they wanted to come, and I know that Malav’s in for sure:

So..(for Saturday night dinner):

Vikas

Jodi

Becky

Anika

Pranita

Aulihan

Drew

Malav

I’m going to pass on the Wednesday night for sure and maybe even the

parade on Saturday, but I’m def in for dinner.

pranita

Sad that I cannont add my name to the bottom of that list =(

On a Wednesday night note… Due to the fact that the Silva boys dont respond to emails (actually Andy has been extremely busy), I just talked to Andy andhe said that theyhe will come out with us and that we can crash at their place that night. Yay for being able to walk to the parade! So the Wednesday night-ers, Thursday parade-ersare just me, jodi, becky, and anika?

Angela

nope no parade for me… i have to do family things all day thursday.

so what type of bar do you all want to go to in detroit? or did we decide on royal oak/birmingham?

~anika

Justin’s a no, he’s going to georgia or something. I won’t be there on wednesday

Where the hell is Seva? If it’s in royal oak, will vikas still drive me?

Chutiya,

mo, drew

Seva:

314 E Liberty

Ann arbor, Michigan 48104

(734) 662-1111

It’s a vegetarian restaurant in Ann Arbor … really tasty stuff though! mmm tofu sausage mmmm

Dave

Getting 15 billion emails is fun when you are working on an outline (and don’t really want to be working on it!)

yay Dave!!!! oh man, i didn’t know you were going to be in town!

Angela: don’t go to the arb saturday, vikas is shady.

Wednseday nighters: Detroit sounds cool if we are going to crash there. Is there anyway I can get a ride from someone though? I’m without a car?

Paraders: start a list

Becky

vikas is shady. see attached. case and point.

becky, it’s probably easiest for me to pick you up. angela, are you going to go straight from chicago to detroit?

paraders:

becky

angela

andy

john

jodi

vikas?

gotta love the emails =)

jodi

Yeah… sorry Vikas. I’m going to be… ummm… busy on Saturday morning…. Wont really be able to make it to the arb…

other notes:

- minus context, that picture really is shady!

- Yes, I will go stright from Chicago to Detroit (perhaps stop home to drop off some stuff, or maybe just go to Andy’s).

- I’m not sure if the guys are up for the parade. Andy was practically asleep when I talked to him. John, you up?

- what does it mean that we are ALL online at the same time…?

Angela

OMG WTF is that picture about Vikas?

-Butts

aww butts was that really an “OMG WTF”…? what is madison doing to you? or and you need to visit chicago more often!

Angela

aww.

i hate vegetables.

Drew

Adding Calvin to the CC list. He says he’s coming on saturday.

But he says this event isn’t actually happening because it’s not on facebook. I think he’ll change his mind when he sees our impressive number of replies.

Those of you not using gmail must be in pain with this thing.

Drew

This thing is called a mole cricket:

Drew

yay calvin! good thing im on facebook! otherwise id have to yell at you for that comment!

yeah seriously, thank goodness for gmail! i love emails!

why do you always have to be a hater drew… at least there wont be mole crickets in your food…*shifty eyes*

Jodi

Adding Malav to the CC list b/c I should have already, but I thought

that he could have been spared the pain of these emails (one with which

I am familiar).

Aulihan

hey malav look here’s a video of a panda sneezing!

hahahahahahahahahaha!

Drew

so is this all who we have?

Vikas

Jodi

Becky

Anika

Pranita

Aulihan

Drew

Malav

Mitali

Dave

Calvin

Cindy (maybe?)

has anyone heard from Cindy?

and Yoni is not a person so I took that off the list - drew… way to put female genitalia on our dinner list (way to also sign off with chutiya in 1 of the e-mails… aditya would be proud).

Anika

I talked with Cindy the other day online and she said she was coming. Actually she invited me.. haha. I told her I already knew about it, so I’m pretty sure she’s in.

Becky

what does chutiya mean?

Pranita

I dont know, it’s a word I just made up.

What does ‘genitalia’ mean?

Drew

u are a big fat liar dur-ewww….i just found out what it means-control your indian potty mouth.

Pranita

I’m sure she’d love to contribute to the clogging of all our email boxes

as well. And now that I’ve CCed her, she can! yay!

Calvin

Wow, ok so my latest exam has taken up all my free time so i apologize for not responding to anything and i just woke up from a 9 hour nap (its 1:30am here) so anyway, here’s the scoop on what going down with John and myself, I believe if all goes well we will be hanging with everyone for the wednesday night party thing (Anika i don’t know anything about good bars or locations of good bars here, so i need help on that) but everyone’s more than welcome to crash at our place, we just went shopping so we all won’t die

plus we have a little beer and stuff left so pregaming or whatever is do-able. Ummm…then the parade thing sounds good too. Again, unfortunately i’ve not notified anyone in my family as to my plans, but i’m sure its fine b/c thanksgiving isn’t at my house this year- YAY for not having to clean or prepare anything haha but yeah the parade as of now is on for john and myself (although i have no idea where it starts, where it will run, or where the best places to watch it are, nor what time we should get there)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOMORROW!!

Andy

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Dave

Happy Thanksgiving All!!

Um… what time are we meeting on Saturday to go to Seva and do you think we need to make a reservation since there are quite a few of us?

Also, last night’s pictures have been posted on Facebook. Yes, I know, Med School has made me slow at posting pictures.

Enjoy Turkey-Day!!

~Anika

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 7pm at Seva was what we said i think? Does Seva take reservations? Also is this the final list? Why aren’t the Silvas and Angela coming!?!

Pranita

Family day in the Ventimiglia house… I’m going to miss you guys, but at least I get to see the babies!!!

you better talk about me ALL night!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Angela

[Quoted text hidden]

I’m on dial up, so I can’t do the night of emailing back anymore

We’ll miss you guys!! Say hi to the babies for me! Babies!!

Wednesday night was fun!! Anika, why haven’t you tagged the pics yet? Facebook slacking….

Becky

Dinner at Seva @ 7pm tomorrow (Saturday).

Head count:

Vikas

Dave

Jodi

Becky

Pranita

Mitali

Anika

Aulihan

Drew

Calvin

Cindy

Malav

I tried to make reservations but they don’t do that on Fridays and Saturdays. So I’ll call ahead by like 1.5 hours tomorrow and put us on the waiting list.

Seva

In terms of driving…

Drew and Becky need rides.

I will be in Ann Arbor, so Becky, if you really need to, I can come pick you up, but it’d be easier if someone coming from that direction could also pick you up. And, I know that Vikas had said he would already pick Drew up, unless plans have changed. Anyway, I’m sure we’ll get this solved in 2 seconds with the mass of emails that will follow this, so …

Hope you all had great thanksgivings and looking forward to see everyone tomorrow!

Aulihan
