family

Hmmm...where should i start?!?!? Well, first of all, I would like to start to start out by saying that mom and dad, you guyz are the bomb!!!! yea, you do give me hard timez a lot but you guyz are still there for me. And even though I may sometimez seem to act differently than what u ugyz expect of me, I'm still your bitu!!! hahaha...
Well, that was of course for ma parents....
As I said before we, my family and me, moved to the United States in October of 1991. But we lived shortly with our relatives in Albany, New York, before I moved to San Francisco. We lived in New York for about six months. Then we decided to move to San Francisco. So we came to Mountain View. There we stayed at one of our other relatives for about a few months. Then we got our own place not far from them. After living in Mountain View for about 5 years, we moved to Union City in July of 1997. And we have there since.

This is of course a picture of my mom, Kirtida Shah, and my dad, Mukund Shah. Dont they just look
CUTE!!! hahaha...Hmmm....they have been the greatest inspiring piece of minds I've ever met in
my entire life. My dad likes to do everything by hand and he has to fix everything in the house.
He is a typical Karl Winslow from the family matters!!! Actually he reminds of my dad
whenever I watch that show. My mom, on the other hannd, she's actually not quite that
"hands on" type of person. She actually does remind me of Hariet Winslow from the Family
Matters. She's very easy-going and fun to be with. Not that my dad isnt but he likes to get things done
first, and then mess around. Anyways, that's my parents....THEY ARE THE BOMB!!!

This is me and my pesty little sis...Nrupali!! hahahaha...naw, she's cool. She's the Alicia Silverstone of Clueless in our family. Like
half her paycheck is spent on clothes and
make-up and other girly stuff. She's 21 years old and acts like she's 12!!! hahaha.....naw!!! She's also hella down to earth kind of person and fun to be with. She can get annoying but I guess you just have to get used to it!! :o)

These are my grandfather, Shantilal Shah, and my grandmother, Mangla Shah. My sister is in my
grandfather's lap and I'm in my grandmother's
lap. My grandmother was an art teacher in
high school and my grandfather was also
a teacher but he taught several subjects.

This is my mom's side of the family. This is not the whole family since a brother and a sister are still in India. The two sisters ( Hemi Fai and my mom) are in the front
row in the middle. The two brothers (Pankaj Mama
and Jayant Mama) are on the top corners. The
rest of the people are their husbands and their
wives, of course, except for the person in the very
middle top row, my grandmother. This is just part of my mom's side of the family. My dad has only one sis and she lives in New York. My mom is the youngest in her family.
