Today was Manisha's Birthday!

Today was Manisha's birthday -- so there were celebrations throughout the day. She brought Kit Kats for everyone!

Here she is cutting the first cake (yes, I had a piece).

I thought the specialities listed on the cake box were interesting.

This is her second cake (yes, I had a piece).

There appears to be a ritual where the birthday girl gets cake smeared on her cheeks and nose.

The cakes come with sparklers. Here Manisha is with Dr. Harleen of Oral Medicine and Oral Radiology.

These are cakes 3& 4 from the dental students to Manisha (yes, I had ANOTHER piece!). Manisha fasts on Mondays, so she could not eat cake (or lunch) today. Some cake was saved for her to enjoy later.

We all took a group photo. Can you find me?

Yes, there is "Waldo!"

Some work actually transpired today. Here the faculty are interacting with students. Notice the respectful demeanor of these students. 

Here Anil is grading a student's cavity preparation project.

I saw a senior student complete this very nice root canal treatment today.

My lunch was vegetable fried rice. It was good.

After work, I counted the steps up to my room: 95! Whew!

The post-sunset twilight was a really cool color tonight. This photo does not adequately replicate how spectacular it was.
