A tale of one city

And before I say goodbye - how will I remember thee, Chicago? Let me count the ways:

It was the best of times,

it was the worst of times,

it was the age of wisdom,

it was the age of foolishness,

it was the epoch of belief,

it was the epoch of incredulity,

it was the season of Light,it was the season of Darkness,

it was the spring of hope,

it was the winter of despair.

Notes:

1. LakeShore.
2. Yes, this is from my apartment too.
3. Maybe this one is interchanged with the next one?!
4. The Annual Math Department Dinner was on Halloween that year, and I'm the Concrete Donkey from the wonderful computer game "Worms World Party".

5. Devon Avenue - India and Pakistan away from home
6. Baba's 60th - if you've been to my apartment, imagine nine people in all, sleeping in those three rooms.

7. Coming back home from an excellent dinner in the Italian restaurant "Rosebud" - which has the best tiramisu "pastry" that I have ever had, by the way.

8. The same place, same day - but different camera mode.
9. Why's there a mist so close to the water?

10. Note the Yellow Cab on Lake Shore Drive. (Actually, it wasn't the winter of despair; it was my birthday! And the 32nd floor...)
